The assassin who had sneaked into the Huai River before got the order and immediately opened the city gate, and Yu Rongbei led the rest of the soldiers to rush in.When the private soldiers in Huaishui heard that their master had been captured alive, they all captured without a fight, and a small number of those who resisted were also executed on the spot.After everything was settled, dawn just broke in the sky, and the common people woke up from their sleep to start a new day.

Song Yanqing led the rest of the people into the city in a low-key manner, and went straight to Changshi's mansion.Du Jinglun, the long history of Huainan, was also born as a first-class Jinshi, and was assigned to Huaishui after being named on the gold list, where he stayed for 20 years.

The Changshi Mansion was in chaos, the servant girl knelt down on the ground, and dozens of corpses were placed in the yard, but it could still be seen that it was magnificent before.Although Huaishui is a rich place, it is not as good as Shangjing at the foot of the emperor. Xu Xilu glanced at it casually, and felt that Du's mansion was even worse than Xu's mansion in Shangjing.It was too much for a magistrate's home to be so extravagant.

Xu Xilu didn't have time to think about it, and followed Song Yanqing all the way to the firewood room where Xie Qingsu was imprisoned.As Ling Zheng said before, the door of the firewood room was locked from the inside, and the windows were closed tightly, so that not even a fly could fly in.

"How's the situation inside?" Song Yanqing asked.

Ling Zheng said: "Go back to your lord, Mr. Xie is still alive."

Xu Xilu's heart skipped a beat, "What does it mean to be alive?"

Ling Zheng said solemnly: "Master Xie was seriously injured before, and now he is unconscious, and the whole person is under the control of Du Jinglun. Du Jinglun threatened that as long as we dare to step into the house, he will cut off Mr. Xie first." throat, and then set fire to the end."

Xu Xilu clenched his fists tightly.Xie Qingsu was inside, and there were only a few steps between them, but what stood between them was not just the chai gate that could be kicked open.

"What else is he trying to plan?" Yu Rongbei asked puzzled, "Could it be that he really naively thinks that he has a way out?"

Just as Yu Rongbei finished speaking, a hoarse voice came from the chaimen, "Have you thought about it?! The blood of the surname Xie is almost running out—hahahaha——"

Without waiting for Song Yanqing to ask, Ling Zheng explained: "Master Xie has obtained the evidence of Du Jinglun's corruption and bribery, and he has been murdered because of it. What Du Jinglun wants is the evidence in Mr. Xie's hands."

Yu Rongbei was stunned, "He has done so many things, hundreds of personal certificates, even if there is no evidence, he must be finished!"

Song Yanqing's gaze was like a knife, and he said coldly: "I'm afraid, the evidence Xie Qingsu has is not only that."

Xu Xilu nodded, "He is protecting his master. Master Ling, do you know where the evidence is?"

Ling Zheng shook his head, "I have taken people to search Xie's mansion, but they have not found the evidence that Du Jinglun said. Presumably only Mr. Xie knows where the evidence is."

"No wonder Du Jinglun wants to save Xie Qingsu's life." Song Yanqing sneered, "I don't know who Du Jinglun's master is, who can make him protect him like this before he dies."

At this time, Du Jinglun started to shout again: "Bring what I want quickly! Otherwise, your Lord Xie will be buried with me hahahaha--I, my son died in my hands! Happy, happy! !"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Xu Xilu's forehead, "My lord, if you keep dragging on, Qingsu will really be dragged to death."

Song Yanqing was also upset, "What can I do?! Xie Qingsu hasn't revealed the whereabouts of the evidence at this point. He...he must know that he will die."

Xu Xilu pointed at the firewood room and shouted: "So? If he is willing to die, the prince will let him die?"

"Then what do you want this king to do!" Song Yanqing was also angry, "If you have a way, tell me, can this king listen to you?!"

Xu Xilu patted his face, and forced himself to calm down—calm down, there will be a solution, think about it carefully... Xie Qingsu really wants to sacrifice his life for the country, why the hell is he so noble!The more Xu Xilu thought about it, the more confused he became. Inexplicably, Xie Qingsu looked at him with red eyes on the boat on Xunjiang that day, without blinking.

If wine is not intoxicating, people are self-intoxicating, and flowers are not charming and self-intoxicating.

asshole.

Xu Xilu took a deep breath, walked to the door, slapped the chaimen fiercely, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xie Qingsu, listen to me before you die, I came here not to collect your body after all the hard work! You still owe me a life, without my permission, if you dare to die, I will bring you back even if I chase you to the underworld!"

"When did Xie Qingsu owe Xilu his life?" Yu Rongbei turned his head to look at Song Yanqing, only to see that the latter's face was frosty and sullen, as if he was holding back something, and he immediately closed his mouth wisely.

Xu Xilu lay on the door, his voice choked up, "I order you, you tell us the whereabouts of those evidences now. You know, the people from Tianji Camp are here too, as long as you hide the evidences in Huaishui City, sooner or later they will If you want to find it, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later!"

Everyone fell silent, staring at the unmoving firewood room, and suddenly Du Jinglun's almost ecstatic voice sounded: "In the Mingyue pawnshop in the east of the city! He said, he said! Quick, you go and fetch it for me!" !"

Song Yanqing nodded to Ling Zheng, and Ling Zheng turned around and said to the two subordinates, "Go quickly and get the evidence back."

"Yes!"

Xu Xilu closed his eyes, and his body slumped weakly. Song Yanqing stepped forward, looked at him deeply, but didn't say anything, just raised his hand, and touched the moisture under his eyes.He cried...for Xie Qingsu.

The two hidden guards who were ordered didn't dare to delay, and rushed to Mingyue pawn shop at high speed.After explaining their purpose to the owner of the pawn shop, the owner brought them a stack of ledgers.One of the hidden guards was puzzled and said: "Brother, didn't Master Ling find the evidence and send it back to Shangjing? Then these are..."

"Shut up!" Another hidden guard sternly said, "We just need to obey the orders, and we must not have any doubts. You must remember that our Tianji Camp will always be loyal to the Holy One."

It took only an incense stick of time for the two of them to retrieve the evidence from Xie Qingsu and hand it over to Song Yanqing.Song Yanqing casually flipped through a few pages, showing a complex expression, and handed the evidence to Xu Xilu.

Yu Rongbei leaned over to take a look, "This, this is not..."

"This is it." Xu Xilu closed the account book and said firmly. "Master Ling, please find a competent and reliable person to send the things in, and then bring Master Xie out."

Xu Xilu specially emphasized the words "reliable and reliable", and Ling Zheng nodded knowingly, "I'll go in person."

Ling Zheng took the account book and walked to Chai Fang's door, and said loudly, "I brought the things, open the door."

After a rustling sound, the door creaked and only opened a crack, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes.Du Jinglun rolled his eyes, took into account the situation outside one by one, and then shouted: "Don't come here! Let... let the person in the azure suit bring things over!"

Of the people present, only Xu Xilu knew no martial arts, and Du Jinglun also saw this, so he called him by name.

Song Yanqing narrowed his eyes dangerously, and was about to refuse, Xu Xilu took his arm, shook his head slightly, and then said to Ling Zheng: "Lord Ling, I'll go."

Ling Zheng backed out slowly, Xu Xilu took the account book in his hand, and came to the door, "Master Du, what do you want me to do next?"

Du Jinglun said: "Shove things in through the crack of the door! Let me tell you, you'd better not try to play tricks, or I will make your lover blood splatter on the spot immediately!"

Song Yanqing couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't correct Du Jinglun's delusion loudly, so she turned her head to Xuan Mo and said, "Xie Qingsu is not his lover!"

Xuan Mo pursed his lips, "This subordinate knows."

Xu Xilu stepped forward and stuffed the account book under the crack of the door. Du Jinglun couldn't wait to reach out to get it. Before he could speak, Xu Xilu suddenly stretched out his hand and firmly grasped the finger in the crack of the door. Du Jinglun Immediately screamed.At the same time, Ling Zheng rushed forward and kicked the chaimen open, only to see Du Jinglun holding a sharp knife in one hand and Xu Xilu holding the other tightly.And Xie Qingsu fell at his feet, his chest was covered in blood, and his shirt was completely soaked in blood.

Before Du Jinglun had time to think about what happened, Ling Zheng appeared behind him and slashed lightly at the back of his head—with a bang, the sharp blade fell to the ground, and Du Jinglun rolled his eyes and passed out.
