Brocade tears

Meng Kuang woke up suddenly, feeling dizzy as if he had been poured with lead, his hands and feet were limp, and he couldn't move for a while.The scene in front of her wobbled several times before finally freezing, and she realized that she was in the underground wine cellar of Yihongxuan.And she is now lying on the steps down to the wine cellar.

Previously, she was hit by a smoke bomb. In order to avoid inhaling too much smoke, she pinched her armpit to slow down her heartbeat and tried to hold her breath. Although she still inevitably passed out due to the smoke inhalation, thanks to the mask's Blocking, the inhaled amount is relatively small, and she wakes up relatively quickly.

She lay on the steps and slowed down, recovering a little strength, then straightened up, turned to look at the situation below the steps.The wine cellar was not lit, and it was too dark to see anything clearly.Meng Kuang didn't hear any movement, and guessed that Guo Dayou who was below was also fainted.

She reached out to touch the equipment on her body, and they were still there. It seemed that Liu Jiu hadn't come down to disarm them.I don't know the reason, but the biggest possibility is that he is afraid of entering this wine cellar.One is not sure whether the smog has completely dissipated, and the other is not sure whether Guo Dayou and Meng Kuang have the medicine to relieve the smog. If they come down rashly, they may be countered.His purpose might just be to delay Guo Dayou and Meng Kuang for a while. After all, it was an imperial envoy's investigation, so he didn't dare to offend too hard.

Meng Kuang took out the fire folder from his luggage, and after blowing it on, he could finally see the scene in the cellar clearly.Not far from her, Guo Dayou rolled to the bottom of the steps, lying on the ground still in a coma.Meng Kuang staggered down to the bottom of the steps and checked Guo Dayou's situation.His breathing was stable, his pulse was fine, and there was no obvious trauma on his body.When the eyelids were lifted, there was no sign of movement in the eyeballs, indicating that he was still in a coma.

Meng Kuang ignored him and planned to check the entire wine cellar first.

This wine cellar is not very big, with eight steps from east to west and five steps from north to south. There are some wooden shelves around it, and a large number of wine jars are placed on it.And just in the southeast corner of the wine cellar, there is a wooden door.The door was not locked. Meng Kuang walked to the door and slowly opened it.It was still pitch black inside, except for a faint light above the head, where there was a small transom.Looking through the transom, it was already dark outside, only the light of a torch came in.

Meng Kuang walked into it slowly holding a fire folder, and the faint light of the fire illuminated the small ear room, which was empty without a single piece of furniture.There was a pile of straw on the ground, and a figure lay on its side, seemingly sound asleep.There was a pair of empty bowls and chopsticks beside him, and the food inside had been eaten.There was a sour smell coming from the tip of his nose. The person lying on the straw pile in front of him hadn't bathed for some time, and his whole body exuded an unpleasant smell.

Meng Kuang squatted in front of him holding a torch, turned him around and saw that the person in front of him was indeed Fang Ming.She met Fang Ming once, and it was also in January of this year that she was promoted to the Thirteenth Taibao.Every newly promoted member of the Thirteenth Taibao has a sworn ceremony, and members of the Thirteenth Taibao who can attend will basically be there, except for some special reasons.The members of the Thirteenth Taibao who were present at that time, except for Wang Daoming, Wang Er, the commander of Nanzhen Fusi, who was away on a business trip, and Feng Cheng, Feng Liu, the withdrawn Qianhu of the management office, were all present, and she also Carefully identify and remember all of them in my heart.Among them, Fang Ming was the first to be promoted to the Thirteen Taibao, and she gave her special attention.This is a rather handsome young man, 27 or [-] years old, with a pair of long and narrow red phoenix eyes, a tear mole under the corner of his right eye, a calm demeanor, and a long beard, a bit like Zhuge Kongming.Fang Ming's nickname is "Dian Xiaolang". He is the officer with the highest level of education in Jinyiwei Middle School.After joining Jinyiwei, the greatest contribution he made was to go through Jinyiwei's personnel list and files over the years, sort out some old cases over the years, and find out one by one.This kind of ability is beyond the reach of ordinary people, just like Dian Xiaolang, who has the ability to manage the huge royal archives.

The disheveled Fang Ming came to his senses under Meng Kuang's movements, and squinted at her under the light of her flame. After a while, he grinned:

"Meng Shisan, I've been waiting for you. Is Li Huier still with you now?"

Meng Kuang asked with gestures: Why do you think I will come to find you?

"Oh, isn't it the message that you sent a child to Hu Jichuan? It said that the auspicious bird was at the gate of the school. I thought it must be at your house, and I sent someone to confirm it later. Although I didn't see it directly Li Huier, but the backyard of your house has been tightly closed, and the corridors from the front hall to the backyard are locked. I guess she must still be at your house. But after I was arrested here two days ago, I couldn't confirm the outside I guess if you have been unable to contact me, you will follow the clues to find me. When you arrive at Bingmasi Hutong, you will definitely understand that I was locked up here by Liu Jiu." Fang Ming explained .

A bad feeling arose in Meng Kuang's heart, and he gestured again and asked, "Did you send someone to send a message to my family to let us meet here in Bingmasi Hutong?"The appointment is still at Shenzheng time today.

"This is impossible. I was arrested two days ago. My people will not act without my order. And the situation in Bingmasi Hutong is so complicated now. No matter how stupid I am, I will not ask you to meet here Yes." He said hastily.

Meng Kuang asked again: How many people do you have under your command?

"There are not many people. Many of the stakes I arranged have been pulled out. The only one who can be trusted now is Lao Luo from the south of the city. He is a veteran I met in other places. Hu Fulai, the boss of Hu Ji, and his subordinates A buddy, Dongzi, and someone who also has me in Yihongxuan is a girl named Zhuyan. They should all know that I was locked in the cellar of Yihongxuan, but they are very smart , did not act rashly to save me."

Meng Kuang drew two slashes and one horizontal slash on the ground, pointed to the sign and asked: Is this the meeting sign agreed upon by you and the auspicious bird.

Fang Ming's expression changed, and he asked, "How did you know? Li Huier told you?"

Meng Kuang stood up abruptly, paced back and forth twice in a hurry, then gestured to Fang Ming and said: "It's not good, someone among your people has betrayed and betrayed this code."Someone pretended to be your bamboo tube and sent a message to my family, asking us to meet at Huji in Bingmasi Hutong at Shenzheng time this evening.

Fang Ming frowned, sat on the ground thinking for a while, and said, "First of all, rule out that this person belongs to Liu Jiu. If he knew that Li Huier was at your house, he would not stay here. The purpose of this person is to seduce Li Huier." Arrested in Bingmasi Hutong? Why did it happen to be Shenzheng tonight? Why did he lure Li Huier to let Liu Jiu catch him? He didn't want Liu Jiu to know that Li Huier was hiding in your house right now? He didn't want Guo Ba and you to occupy This credit? It is more beneficial for Li Huier to fall into Liu Jiu's hands than to remain in your and Guo Ba's hands."

Meng Kuang wrote the word "whale" on the ground, and then gestured: I have been wondering why Liu Jiu would get involved in this matter?Is it related to Zhang Jing?

Fang Ming waved his hand and said, "Liu Jiu should not be working for Zhang Jing, because I have checked his correspondence, and he has never had any correspondence with other places. In fact, he does not write letters at all. The Internet is all in Beijing. I also checked the people who communicate with him on a daily basis, and no one has anything to do with Zhang Jing. He learned about Li Huier and I conspiring to leave the palace from other unknown channels. I wanted to check Liu Jiu has come into contact with any unknown people these days, but his ability is limited, and it is already very difficult to avoid Liu Jiu's prying eyes."

Meng Kuang asked: Did you let Liu Jiu catch you on purpose?

Fang Ming smiled: "After I knew that Li Huier was in the hands of you and Guo Ba, I threw myself into the trap. I have to deal with Liu Jiu first, figure out what he is up to, and get rid of this hidden danger before I can concentrate on it." Deal with Guo Ba. Otherwise, I'm not that capable. But then again, Meng Shisan... I really didn't expect you to help Li Huier. She made your family so miserable back then, and your father and brother couldn't help it. No, you still help her?"

Meng Kuang remained silent and did not answer this question, but he was thinking in his heart that Fang Ming really knew about the past between Sui Er and the Meng family. It seems that even if Sui Er did not tell him, he found out by himself.In fact, it's okay to hide this matter from a woman in the palace like the Queen Mother, but it's impossible to hide it from Fang Ming who lives in Jinyiwei.This thought flashed by, and she turned to say: "The situation is critical now, we have to get out as soon as possible, we can't waste time here."I am afraid that the auspicious bird will fall into the trap of this unknown person.

Fang Ming asked, "How do you plan to get out?"

From the leather bag at his waist, Meng Kuang took out two blunderbuss lead bullets, an oiled paper bag with unknown contents, a metal tube of unknown purpose, and a roll of cotton rope.

"What is this?" Fang Ming asked curiously.

Meng Kuang clenched his fist with one hand, with the center of the fist facing upwards, and then let go of his fist suddenly, with a "pop" sound in his mouth, and the corners of his brows and eyes revealed a playful look.Fang Ming understood immediately, and thought that Meng Shisan could not see that he could make explosives.In this wine cellar full of spirits, it was enough for her to torment.

……

Sui'er woke up after being jerked from her body, and when she opened her eyes, she was horrified to find that her hands had been tied up and tied to a cross-bar above her head.She is currently in the carriage, and there is only a masked man in front of her. The carriage is stopped, and the man is kneeling on her and looking at her appreciatively.Sui'er's scarves were all ripped off, the turban covering her hair was also undone, and all her long hair fell loose.

The masked man took off the black cloth covering his face, and the face under it was Cao Guang.Sui'er looked at him and said angrily:

"What are you going to do?!"

"Of course I take you as a concubine. Don't worry, I, Cao Guang, treat women first and foremost. You will never suffer if you follow me." As she spoke, she couldn't help reaching out to touch Sui'er's face.

Sui'er dodged his hand suddenly, and said angrily: "Are you in the same group as those bastards?!"

"Don't say it so harshly, I just entrusted them to help me with something, and they are not part of the same group." Cao Guang laughed.

"If you let me go now, you still have a chance. Otherwise, Meng Shisan will not let you go! You will die in an ugly way!" Sui Er said through gnashing of teeth.

"Don't worry, Meng Shisan won't know that I took you away. He only knows that you were swept away in the gang fight." Cao Guang smiled, "And I ask you, what are you and Meng Shisan doing?" Relationship? Are you so sure that he will come to save you and offend so many people who cannot be offended for you?"

"She... she is my fiancé!" Sui Er said angrily.

"Fiancé, that means you haven't passed the door yet? Look, it's not good for you to live in the man's house before you pass the door. And what's the matter with you today? We ran into him outside the Lingji Hall." Doctor Meng and his party arrested you, why did you run away? If Meng Shisan was nice to you, why did you run away? I’m afraid he is not your fiance at all.” Cao Guang laughed.

Before Sui'er could refute, Cao Guang interrupted: "If you follow me, you won't suffer any more in the future. Meng Shisan is such a cold guy, wearing a mask all day long, how scary. I, Cao Guang, am a normal person and know how to love women."

"You're attracted to women you've met once, and you've even teamed up with rogue bastards to rob civilian girls. You still have the nerve to say that you are a normal person, a **** with a brain, and it's disgusting for you to lift my shoes for my thirteenth brother." , Bah!" Sui'er spat on Cao Guang fiercely, and sprayed Cao Guang's saliva all over his face.Cao Guang squinted his eyes and wiped his face, leaned down close to Sui'er, pinched her face, and threatened in a low voice:

"You'd better be obedient to me. My patience is limited. It doesn't matter if a beauty is wild, but if she is too wild, she needs to be taught a lesson."

Although Cao Guang said cruel words, but when he got closer, this woman was really beautiful. A snow-white and delicate face was flushed with anger, and her delicate facial features were breathtakingly beautiful. Out of fear, anger and disgust, but still lovely.Cao Guang couldn't help being agitated, and couldn't bear to kiss her on the face.Sui'er struggled and roared, but her hands were tied, her body was held down by Cao Guang's weight and she couldn't move, her head was pinched and she couldn't even shake it, so she had no choice but to accept his rude kiss.Sui'er felt goosebumps all over her body, and was so sick that she just wanted to vomit.While screaming and crying uncontrollably:

"Brother Thirteen...Brother Thirteen...heh...uh...help! Brother Thirteen!!!"

"Stop shouting, you follow me, there is nothing wrong with that person." The more Sui'er wept and feared, the more he aroused Cao Guang's animal nature. After finishing the work in the car, his hand has already touched his waist, and he is about to take off his clothes.

Seeing that a good thing is about to happen, but suddenly the curtain of the car was lifted, and a bastard under Zou Ba's hands raised his head anxiously and shouted:

"Commander Cao! Don't mess with it, run away!"

"What's going on?!" Cao Guang was startled, almost wilted with fright, and couldn't help being furious.

"The Nine Finger King's men are coming, we have to leave quickly!"

"Where are you going? Didn't you agree to meet Zou Ba here?" Cao Guang roared.

"Master Zou is also being chased. The person who just sent a message told us to go to Bingmasi Hutong to join Mr. Zou's people immediately. Let's go, they are all over here!" While speaking, the bastard screamed and was cut down with a knife. , There was the sound of a large number of people roaring and killing beside the car.Someone was also heard shouting:

"Zouba is in that carriage. Whoever gets the head will be rewarded!"

"I xx..." Cao Guang yelled, rushed to the door of the carriage, and kicked a bastard who was about to get in. He immediately raised his whip and slapped the horse hard.The horses pulling the cart neighed and galloped out.There was the sound of fighting in the ears, and a large number of bastards behind him chased after him.Cao Guang's mind was buzzing, he only remembered to go to Bingmasi Hutong to meet Zouba, he drove the carriage as hard as he could, and headed north as fast as he could.
