MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 177 Sir, don't cry
Chapter 177 Eldest son, don't cry
The blood on Eleven's body looked horrifying. He himself just had some skin injuries on his arm. Besides, he was young and not calm enough. Only after seeing Pei You did he finally calm down.
"The people who attacked Miss Fan were lurking on the way back to the capital from Ci'en Temple. They should have seen Miss Fan leaving the city at noon, so they started to ambush." The two walked out from the Ministry of Industry, and Shi Shi followed Pei You and whispered back, "Master Wen It is on the way from Honglu Temple to Wenfu, so it should be deliberately chosen on the same day."
"How is Mr. Wen?" Pei You said in a deep voice.
"It's okay, I just got a little frightened, and I have already been sent back to Wen's residence." Eleven said.
Not only the dark guards in Wutong Lane have been following for more than half a year, but Mr. Wen has been followed by dark guards every day since his wife was not married to the Duke's mansion.
Pei You's brows and eyes are slightly relaxed.
Eleven said again: "But...Miss Fan... pierced her heart with a sword, and she couldn't be saved."
Pei You lowered his eyelashes, with no expression on his face, and asked after a while, "Only one survivor?"
Eleventh felt a little ashamed: "Yes, the boss took him to a dark cell, waiting for the young master's interrogation. Thirteenth has already gone to mess with his details."
This group of assassins is really sophisticated. They had dealt with them once during Yingyao's trip. They thought they were inexperienced at that time, and this year or so was enough for them to match them.
But it really happened, if it wasn't for staring at one of the weaker ones to death in vain, and stopping him in time before swallowing the poison, I'm afraid it would be nothing this time.
Although it is night, I can still feel the dark clouds in the capital, and the snow is coming.
Pei You's face was calm, and he didn't say another word. He only asked before getting into the carriage: "Do you know that I will return late after meeting Madam?"
Eleventh immediately said: "A letter has been sent to Shiliu, and Shiliu said that Madam has gone to sleep in the study."
Pei You lifted his robe and got into the car.
The carriage drove all the way, heading straight for the Duke's mansion.
At the door of the dark cell, Gu Fei had a dull, slightly pale complexion.
He had been by Pei You's side before, and when Yingyao was attacked, it was Tubai who was dealing with it. This was the first time he had really seen blood. At the moment, his mind is full of the flashes of swords and swords just now, their people, the opponent's people, the Vatican girl who was alive and kicking a second ago, the blood sprayed on him, the assassins who bit the poison and committed suicide together...
It wasn't until Pei You's figure appeared in the night that he finally recovered.
Pei You approached, glanced at him, and gave Eleven another look: "Go down and bandage the wound."
Push the door and go in.
Gu Fei and Eleven looked at each other. Both of them were injured, but neither of them moved. Instead, they followed Pei You into the dark prison.
They also want to know who is the murderer behind the scenes who told them to arrange this for a long time and lost so many brothers.
The people inside were guarded by Bai Bai himself.
Same as Mr. Yi last time, with iron chains on his hands and feet and a white cloth stuffed in his mouth.
It's just that Mr. Yi has never been honest from the beginning to the end, he either yelled "woo woo" or smashed the chains; but this time, the man was as quiet as stagnant water from beginning to end, like a walking dead.
Tu Bai stared at him for a moment, afraid that if he didn't pay attention, he would try to kill himself if he managed to save his life.
When Pei You came in, the assassin remained motionless, without even raising his eyelids.
It was still the grand master's chair, and Gu Fei also immediately went to pour a cup of hot tea as usual, but after the tea cup was put down, there was no more sound in the dark cell.
The assassin did not move, and Pei You was not in a hurry, drinking tea leisurely, only occasionally glanced at him.
After a long while, a cup of tea ran out, and Gu Fei immediately refilled it. Pei You didn't move anymore, but spoke slowly.
"Aren't you from the capital?" Pei You leaned on the grand master's chair, staring at the person sitting motionless on the ground, "How many years have you been in Beijing?"
The man didn't answer or move, as if he didn't hear anything.
Pei You didn't expect him to answer, and leaned slightly, staring at him with black eyes: "I guess, three to five years?"
The man still didn't move, Pei You picked up the teacup again, scratched the lid with downcast eyes: "Twenty-six seven, come to Beijing for three to five years, not only is he not from the capital, he must be a black householder."
"It's not just black households..." Pei You slightly raised his eyebrows, "Probably there is still a case."
"A vicious person with a criminal record is willing to fight with his life, why?" Pei You took a sip of tea, "Have a wife and son?"
The iron chain on the ground suddenly slammed.
Gu Fei was listening on the sidelines, forgetting even the pain on his body.
As expected of his grandson!
With just a few glances, you can see so many details about this person!
There are many high-ranking families in Beijing, and with the skills of those dead men, it is very easy to find a job in Beijing as a good citizen; at this age, it is indeed time to marry a wife and have children...
"Even if you have no wife and no children, if you are willing to risk your own life, there are more important things than your own life." Pei You put down the teacup, "You can choose to kill yourself here, but the person you want to protect, you What I want to achieve, I'm afraid..."
He gently raised his eyelids, under the dim yellow candlelight, the small mole on the side of his nose was cold and thin: "I can't do what you wish."
As he spoke, he gave Tu Bai a wink.
Tu Bai was a little apprehensive, but he went over and tore off the white cloth from his mouth.
He was so nervous that his palms were sweating a little. Fortunately, the man didn't bite his tongue, but he still pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and looked away, and didn't speak.
"Your Excellency, you might as well think it over before you speak." Pei You didn't urge him, but stared at Gu Fei and Eleven instead.
The two understood that this was accusing them of not listening to him, they looked at each other silently, and silently stepped back to deal with the wound.
"It's cold, let's have a cup of tea." Pei You said to Tu Bai again.
Tu Bai was naturally worried, but the young master spoke, so he went over. He wanted to stand and take a sip, but Pei You knocked on the tea table and motioned him to sit down.
So the scene in the dark prison changed to two people drinking tea silently, and one person sitting on the ground silently.
Neither punishment nor coercion was used, and the people sitting on the ground were not as calm as they seemed on the surface. As time passed, they would glance up from time to time.
Tu Bai sat down and drank a cup of hot tea, he recovered a little bit, but vaguely understood Pei You's move.
This person is not even afraid of death, so what's the use of extorting a confession by torture?
He is waiting.
In the past year or so, there have been so many hidden guards, not all of them have high martial arts skills. What a large number of people are doing is to interrogate people in Beijing.
The key Gyeonggi Battalion and Fubingwei, naturally, have long been overwhelmed.
But Young Master said earlier that such a large-scale assassination, it is impossible to use all the officials and family members, otherwise if one fails, they will all commit suicide by poisoning themselves, and the officials will not investigate.
Therefore, for more than a year, refugees without household registration and status in Beijing have been the focus of their investigation.
Thirteen has just seen this man's appearance, and he has been there for an hour. If he has been tricked by this man before, where is his weakness, and he can be brought over in a short time.
Thinking about it this way, Tu Bai is not in a hurry anymore.
If he really had no scruples, he would bite his tongue and kill himself when he removed the obstruction in his mouth.
Sure enough, after about half an hour, a child's cries suddenly sounded outside the quiet and silent prison, and the man who had been as firm as a rock stood up suddenly from the ground: "You... who did you arrest?"
This time it was Pei You's turn to be silent, watching Shisan bring a pair of mother and son with two hidden guards in a leisurely manner.
The woman seemed to be about the same age as the assassin, and the child was only three or four years old. As soon as she entered, the quiet cell was filled with the cry of the child.
"What are you doing to me! The crime is not as serious as wives and children, so what has it to do with innocent children?"
"Innocent child?" Pei You raised his eyebrows, then pointed at the crying child indifferently, "Then let's start with this innocent child."
"Children are innocent after all." Pei You leaned back on the teacher's chair with no expression on his face, casually turning the wrench in his hand, "Let's clean it up and 'post Jiaguan'."
Post plus official?
The man in chains couldn't believe it.
Is this the gentle, refined and benevolent Prince Pei? !
Using this kind of torture on a three-year-old child, he is simply a shameless and insane person!
There are all kinds of instruments of torture in the dark prison, Shisan Deling, and a dark guard carried the bed, and in a blink of an eye the crying child was fixed on it, and the crying woman turned into a woman with a pale face just now.
"My lord, my lord doesn't know what kind of mistakes my lord has committed, and the woman kowtowed to my lord on my lord's behalf! My lord let the child go, what do you have... why are you angry at the woman!"
Pei You paced to Xing's bedside, twitching the corners of her lips: "Don't worry, after this child, you will be the one."
The woman fell to the ground all of a sudden, her eyes widened in horror, and she watched the man in front of him clean his hands very gracefully, sat down beside Xing's bed, and wet the paper slowly, as if he was doing something elegant. The usual things, posted on the child's face unhurriedly.
The whole body of the child was immobilized, and he was so frightened that he could no longer cry. He just sniffled and covered it with a piece of paper, and the sniffing sound was much quieter.
Without any hesitation, he wet another sheet very familiarly, and continued to paste it on the child's face slowly.
Basically... I am used to doing this kind of thing at all, and there will be no one who is soft-hearted in the slightest!
"Husband, husband!" The woman broke down and cried, "Husband, what heinous thing have you done? Please beg this lord! Xuan'er is only three years old!"
The assassin struggled, trying to break free from the chain, and yelled: "In vain, people in the world say that you are kind, courteous, humble, and kind. You are an evil ghost in human skin! Kill me if you have the ability, don't kill my wife and children!" !"
Pei You laughed suddenly, touching her forehead with her fingertips, laughing so hard that her surroundings lost color.
When Yan Hei's eyes were raised, there was no smile at all inside: "If I don't kill your wife and children, you will kill my wife and children. Rao is a **** of Daluo, and he can't do such a charity thing." .”
"Don't worry, even if you keep those secrets for others, I won't be able to catch the knife holder, and I would be happy to destroy a knife like yours with my own hands."
Continue to paste a piece of soaked paper in a slow manner, and pat the child's cheek with raised brows: "Tsk, what a pity, you child, you are about to die."
"Husband!!"
Plop—
The man finally couldn't hold on any longer, and knelt on the ground straight: "Pei Shizi, all villains are recruited, and whatever the prince wants to know, all villains are recruited!"
-
Wen Ning realized that she was dreaming.
She occasionally has this kind of "lucid" dream, knowing that she is in a dream, but she can't break through the dream and wake up.
She called Pei You twice, but she couldn't hear her own voice, and Pei You didn't respond, and walked out of the study with Tu Bai with a condensed face.
Wen Ning found out after going out that this is not the Duke's Mansion, but another place she is also familiar with.
Indus Lane.
In this life, Sanskrit was in Wutong Lane, but in her previous life, she was imprisoned there by Pei You for several years.
Pei You and Tu Bai rode quickly after leaving the house.
Just said in vain that something happened? What happened?
Why Pei You didn't need him to say more, and immediately understood, where are they going now?
In the winter in the dream, it was also snowing, and the wind blew past, and the snowflakes cut the cheeks like knives.
Wen Ning is extremely strange, she is clearly dreaming, yet she has such a real feeling, she can't even find where she is, but the wind in her ears, the snow that almost cuts her skin, are so real.
She watched Pei You and Tu Bai gallop all the way, out of Chang'an Street, and out of the capital city. The suburbs of Beijing at night were so dark that nothing could be seen, but their horses did not stop at all.
Walking all the way to a mountain depression, Wen Ning finally understood where they were going.
This is Wanggui Mountain, are they going to Wangguizhuang?
Pei You took her there.
Sure enough, when the horses stopped, Wen Ning saw the familiar plaque of "Wangguizhuang". It's just that Pei You and Tu Bai didn't stay at the door, they got off their horses, they didn't even care about the tie, and hurried to the village.
Wen Ning seldom saw Pei You lose his composure like this. He was always calm and calm, but now, he almost ran to the villa.
But when he pushed open the door, his steps suddenly stopped, and his whole body froze suddenly.
Wen Ning looked at everything in front of her in disbelief.
The dilapidated lanterns that fell on the ground, the ruins that were cut down on the ground, blood everywhere, and corpses all over the ground.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Wen Ning felt as if her heart had been hit hard, and the severe pain raged and spread in her chest.
No, this is a dream.
She's just dreaming.
It's just a nightmare, wake up, wake up!
She struggled hard, but did not break through the dream. She followed Pei You all the way forward, the huge manor was covered with blood and corpses all the way.
In the silent snowy night, there was no life, only the cry of vain mourning that she had never heard before.
Pei You, it's just a dream, don't be sad.
Wen Ning wanted to speak, but she couldn't make any sound. She just followed Pei You all the way in. She remembered that his teacher lived in the innermost courtyard.
The courtyard door was closed, and Pei You stopped in front of the door, as if trying to push the door open.
After a long time, he finally raised his hand.
crunch—
The scene in the last courtyard is more tragic than the outside one.
All the women, children, and children gathered here. It can be seen that when the incident happened, someone sent them here and tried to protect them together.
But the visitor was not relentless.
The corpses on the ground didn't even show signs of resistance and struggle, all of them were fatally stabbed.
Wen Ning saw that Pei You's hands were shaking.
His usual straight back was slightly hunched, and with trembling hands, he picked apart the corpses one by one to check their breath.
No survivors.
When we met last year, the tough teacher was leaning over the desk in front of him, his eyes widened in anger, and there was a streak of dark red blood at the corner of his lips.
Pei You raised his hand and closed his eyes.
In the dead silent room, there was a slight sound suddenly.
There is a person hiding in the arms of the teacher.
Pei You almost moved the teacher's body away in a panic, revealing the small movement inside.
"Douding?" Pei You's voice was hoarse, and he choked when he opened his mouth.
He took Douding out of the teacher's arms, but Douding didn't seem to be safe and sound, his pale face was cloudy, and he only breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei You picked him up and strode out.
Wen Ning saw a large area of blood on Douding's back, probably because the sword that pierced the teacher still hurt him after all. Pei You picked him up, and blood dripped down his palm.
"Big... big son..." Douding recognized the person.
"My lord, don't cry..." Douding raised his little hand.
He wanted to touch Pei You's eyes, but he retracted them, and groped on his body for a while: "My lord...I have...I have candy."
"You...brought it to me last time, I...didn't finish it..."
"Here, don't cry... Douding doesn't hurt..."
Pei You didn't say a word, but walked faster and faster. The snowflakes fell on his face, turned into water droplets, and then slid down his cheeks.
Before he reached the door, Douding's hand dropped suddenly, and a candy wrapped in sugar wrapper fell from it.
Pei You's steps also stopped suddenly.
The snow was still falling, layer by layer, as if trying to cover up all the blood of the night.
Wen Ning didn't understand why she had such a terrible nightmare, she struggled desperately to wake up, but she couldn't get rid of the shackles of the dream no matter what.
She doesn't want to watch, she doesn't want to watch such a cruel scene.
Probably because she was struggling too much, this scene really disappeared, and instead it was a room she hadn't seen for a long time.
It was still night, and it was still snowing outside, but the room was extraordinarily warm.
There was a soft knock at the door, and Pei You pushed the door open and entered.
He was no longer in the same clothes as before, but there was still a faint smell of blood on his body, and his complexion was even more pale.
He moved very lightly, and slowly walked to the side of the bed.
There is a girl lying on the bed, the night is deep, it is the time of deep sleep.
He didn't go to bother her, but just looked at her quietly with lowered eyes, and there was even a little bit of lingering red at the end of the narrow eyes.
After a long time, he took a step forward, but sat on the footrest, gently picked up the girl's hand, and carefully laid it on it.
"Ah Ning, you are the only one left."
Just as the girl turned over slightly, Wen Ning saw her face clearly, and regained consciousness in an instant.
The seventeenth year of Jiahe, this is the last life, she is still in the seventeenth year of Jiahe in Wutong Lane.
Wen Ning suddenly opened her eyes, ignoring the cold tears on her face, only three words in her mind—Wang Guizhuang.
"Sixteen! Sixteen!" she yelled into the air.
At this time, in the dark prison, the only remaining assassin knelt on the ground and said: "The villain has never seen the person who gave the order, let alone who is giving us the order, but the villain knows that tonight we pedestrians, we are being punished." Divided into three teams, a team with a small number of people, assassinate Wen Tingchun, the minister of Honglu Temple, a team of twenty people, assassinate Sanskrit Yinyin in Wutong Lane, and a team with the largest number... went to Wanggui Village in Wanggui Mountain."
Pei You stood up suddenly, and the teacup beside her hand fell off the sleeve of her robe.
