Chapter 71 Murder Plan
When the guard heard this, he was about to leave and was called back by Wen Shimao, "Looking at him tightly, and immediately repaying me whenever there is any movement. W w★W√.√8 z Wく.★C★o√M”
The guards retreated in response. Ying Guliu knew very well what they were saying. In order to avoid embarrassment, he did not mention it again. But Wen Shimao still felt uncomfortable all over, as if everyone had seen through the deepest secrets in his heart. He clenched his fists and punched the case hard: "You are so insulting me!"
Wujiabao is a small town in the border town. From south to north, from east to west, there is no decent wine shop. The food in the military camp is rough and tasteless, and Lou Erlang is not used to it at all. Every day, he has to spend most of the day to get from Zhenbei to Zhennan. There is a good noodle restaurant there, selling noodles and wine and meat. Although the taste is average, it is slightly better than in the military camp.
Lou Erlang ate a large bowl of oiled plate with mutton and burped with satisfaction. He took a lotus leaf and wrapped a few yellow oil-seed shortbread cakes for midnight snack. When he was about to leave, someone next to him suddenly called out, "Erlang, come and have two drinks." The person who spoke was a young man in his early twenties, with a linen shirt and a dark face.
Lou Erlang moved reluctantly, and the proprietress brought a pair of bowls, chopsticks and wine utensils, and added another plate of braised beef. The young man sifted a bowl of wine for Lou Erlang. Lou Erlang drank it all, wiped his lips, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say that you should not meet recently? You must understand my difficulties." The young man smiled slightly, took out a bulging cloth bag and put it on the table, making a crisp "knock" sound, not to mention that it contained real gold and silver.
Lou Erlang hesitated for a moment, then put it in his arms like a thief, then pretended to be nothing and continued to drink and eat meat. The young man sifted him a bowl of wine.
"We want to know if the court punished him after the demise of Longwei Camp? And his next move, moving north or staying still?" The young man spoke softly, but every sentence was clear.
Lou Erlang drank the wine in front of him and picked up the numb cake wrapped in lotus leaves and left.
After drinking the wine in front of him, the young man took out a string of money and placed it on the corner of the table. He was about to get up and leave, his two thick hands suddenly pressed on his shoulder:
"Don't make a sound, come with us."
The young man was named Lu Chun, who was a detective in the Yanzhou branch of the Fengzhou Zuo Mansion. When Wen Shimao was stationed in Yanzhou, he was ordered to rebel Lou Erlang and obtain information from him. The person who arrested him was Xiao Qingyi's secret agent who was with the army to protect the security of military intelligence. Lu Chun was taken to Xiao Qingyi's secret torture room in Wujiabao. He used seven sets of torture, but still could not get anything useful.
Lu Chun insisted that he and Lou Erlang were just friends he had known for a while, and after meeting each other at the noodle restaurant, they chatted together.
Xiao Qingyi couldn't find any result, so she threw him into the black prison and locked up undyingly. At noon the next day, Lu Chun's companion asked the Wujiabao garrison garrison captain to come forward to protect Lu Chun from being released from prison. After a while, he spent some money. Lu Chun was still released.
The companions advised Lu Chun to come and open Wujiabao as soon as possible to avoid another accident. Lu Chun refused and said, "They arrested me and let me go, which shows that they did not see through my identity. They may have found me because of the leak. Last time, the entire Longwei Camp was destroyed because of the leak. It is reasonable that they sent additional personnel to screen and investigate the insiders, so there is no need to panic."
Lou Erlang was unaware of this episode of Lu Chun. Since last time he betrayed the information of Mao Fulin and other frontline generals returning to Wujiabao secret merchants at a high price, he made up his mind to stop. Although it was quick to sell the information and money, the risk was not small.
Not long ago, a friend told Lou Erlang that Xiao Qingyi sent a large number of elite troops to follow the army this time to prevent the infiltration of the Zuo Mansion. Is Xiao Qingyi a waste of money? How could they allow people like me to stay? But when Lu Chun put 200 taels of silver in front of him, his heart roared again.
"Do this last time, wash your hands immediately after doing this."
After eating the steak cake, Lou Erlang scooped up a scoop of cold water and drank it for a few sips, and finally rinsed his mouth. After finishing his clothes, he decided to go to Yunniang. Such a core secret can only be obtained from her. Yunniang was a smart woman, but like all women who fell in love, she was already confused and let her play with it under her sweet coaxing.
This kind of woman is useless if she doesn't use it. This is the world. People don't punish themselves for themselves. Heaven and earth will destroy them. Whenever Lou Erlang thinks of this, he will sneer for no reason.
When he arrived at the gate of Yunniang's courtyard, Lou Erlang felt something was wrong. Today seemed to be much quieter than usual. Lou Erlang looked around and there was a pot of small orchid on the wall of the yard, which was a signal that Wen Shimao was away. Lou Erlang hesitated for a long time and finally opened the gate of the yard. With that pot of flowers, the gate of the yard was never locked.
The door of the house was empty, and there was a pot of orchid under the eaves of the corridor. Everything was normal. Lou Erlang coughed and asked, "Is Xiao Niang here?" If it were usual, Yun Niang would have floated out like a butterfly and plunged into his arms, but today it was Kong Jie, the close disciple of Wen Shixun, who was also Wen Shixun's guard leader.
Lou Erlang felt something was wrong, so he turned around and ran away. It was too late. The gate of the courtyard was stopped by six iron-armored guards and wanted to climb over the earthen walls on both sides, but he saw four archers riding on the earthen walls on both sides, and he was aiming at him with a bow.
Lou Erlang tried to calm down, and gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile and said, "General Kong, what are you doing at this time?" Kong Jie sneered and winked. The iron-armored guard rushed over to the ground and threw him over. Lou Erlang was stubborn and still shouted. Kong Jie stepped forward to look at him and kicked him.
With the crisp "crack" sound, Lou Erlang's left leg broke, and big beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead. He collapsed to the ground, but he did not dare to say anything again. The guards dragged him into the house like a dead dog, where he saw Yun Niang who was connected to the same fate. She was pressed by two guards to kneel on the ground, with a cloth stuffed in her mouth.
Lou Erlang only had a look at her, and Yunniang was pulled away and forced to press it on the bed. Then Lou Erlang saw the most terrifying scene he had seen in his life.
Yunniang looked up to the sky, her limbs were pressed tightly by four guards, and her head was held back by one. A dry old man with a goatee posted the soaked hemp paper one by one on her face. Yunniang tried her best to stick out her tongue and burst the hemp paper with breath, but to no avail. After one hemp paper was damaged, more hemp paper was pasted on it again.
Yunniang struggled tenaciously, unable to imagine that a weak woman had such great power when facing death. At one point, she almost seemed to have freed her right hand to lift the hemp paper on her face, but the desire to survive was quickly strangled. Finally, when she put the tenth hemp paper on her, Yunniang stopped breathing and her hands and feet drooped helplessly.
The breath in the room became solemn and depressed, because of nervousness, Lou Erlang kept vomiting clear water out. The goatee took off the hemp paper from Yunniang's body, and then solemnly put it into a wooden box. He twisted a hot towel and carefully wiped the face of the body. After some modification, the previously hideous and terrifying death became quiet and quiet, as if the deceased had passed away quietly in his sleep and had not suffered any pain.
Kong Jie pulled Lou Erlang up, dragged him to the bed, and let him carefully look at Yunniang's face. Lou Erlang was fist-and-pulled when he was a little disobedient. Lou Erlang fell down with tears and snot. He collapsed to the ground and cried, "What do you want me to do?" He knew very well that the reason why Kong Jie abused Yunniang in front of him and did not kill him was to use him to do something. Otherwise, his fate would be a hundred times more miserable to Yunniang.
"Smart man!" Kong Jie patted his head, "Lu Chun has promised to cooperate with us, and we want you to cooperate with him in a play. After the matter is done, let you hide your identity and fly away."
To Lou Erlang, this is a fantasy. He had sex with his mistress and became a gangster. His mistress was tortured and killed, but he could escape his life?
"You can either not believe it or choose not to cooperate with us." Kong Jie laughed gloomyly, "I promise that you will die a hundred times more miserable than her."
"What do you want me to do?" Lou Erlang completely surrendered. He now had only one thought in his mind when he saw Yunniang's tragic death: even if he died, he would have to stop himself.
"You are a smart person after all." Kong Jie smiled with satisfaction.
A day later, Lou Erlang came to the south noodle restaurant with a cane and ordered a bowl of beef noodles and a plate of dried salted bamboo shoots. He ate it with relish. Halfway through the noodles, Lu Chun walked over and sat in his seat on the right side, looking around alertly. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he took the opportunity to buy Hu cakes and sat opposite Lou Erlang when he came back.
"The Ministry of War came to Daoshen's order, and no hair hurt him. He was waiting for the food and grass from Yanzhou to go north for the time being."
"Is that much?" Lu Chun was obviously a little unsatisfied.
"Do you think it's easy to get these?" Lou Erlang seemed a little excited. "Look at my legs, he beat me to help you get these things."
"Did he doubt you?" Lu Chun was very dissatisfied with Lou Erlang's disobedience and looked around vigilantly.
"I want to leave here, you want to help me get out of here." The sudden request made by Lou Erlang made Lu Chun quite embarrassed. Lou Erlang was his only source of information, how could he leave?
"You can't leave. If you have any requests, I will try my best to satisfy you."
"I don't want anything. I have to leave here, otherwise I will be found out sooner or later I will lose my life." Lou Erlang covered his face excitedly. His emotions seemed to be in danger of losing control at any time. This made Lu Chun quite worried that a person who was out of control not only could not be his partner, but would also greatly threaten his own safety. He must make a decision immediately.
"If you can get his military defense map, I can consider sending you away."
"In addition to sending me away, I also want money, at least three thousand taels of silver."
