Evil disciple, let go of the back of your teacher's neck!

Because of Yi Dunnan's report, Gao Wujiu incited the seven major merchants to raise prices, in order to instigate conflicts between the government and the people, and obstruct Zilitian's reform.The new emperor's first big move after ascending to the throne was met with a slap in the face. He ordered Feng Lin to arrest the chief culprit in a panic, "Confiscate the house! Exile! The ancestral hall is not allowed to stay! He wants to kill me, so why should I show mercy to him?" !"

However, before Jin Yiwei could break in, the Gao family's ancestral house was already on fire from the inside.

The fire burned all night, and Gao's ancestral hall and ancestral house were all burned.At dawn, Yang Dazhi led people to kill the inner courtyard, except for the corpses of the servant girls, only the remains of the eldest son of the Gao family were found in the bedroom.

Gao Wujiu himself is missing.

The news came back to Feng Lin's ears, making his already cloudy complexion even more like a rainstorm.

Yang Dazhi is very good at observing words and expressions, he can see that the prince is not happy, not only because of Gao Wujiu's escape, but now Feng Lin is holding the trigger of his anger.

He didn't dare to blatantly spy on the prince's mind, he only secretly glanced at it when Yiyan replaced it with new tea, and in the taillight of that glance, he saw Cang Lang's handwriting, which seemed to be a seven-character poem.The folds of the paper hide the whole picture of the poem, but the four characters at the beginning of the poem are pushed towards Yang Dazhi.

"Thousands...are...don't...look".

Do not forget what?This was the first thought that popped into Yang Dazhi's mind, but seeing Feng Lin's eyes, he didn't dare to ask anything.

"Did you do the death of Yidun's daughter?"

Yang Dazhi turned his head in search of the sound, a figure appeared at the door, his tone was not as friendly as that of his face. "Sir." He saluted with his hands folded, but Cang Lang walked by without looking sideways, the rustling sound of his robe seemed to contain vague anger.

Feng Lin was silent for a while, and then said truthfully: "She has the will to die until she is in poverty, and I am just helping her."

Cang Lang said: "The crime is not as good as the parents, the fault is not the same as the wife and children, you tell me this is helping?"

"The evil* was planted by his father, and the murder weapon was handed out by the Gao family. When I declared the benefits that day, Yi Dunnv already knew about it." Feng Lin said, "If I really did something, it was only because of her. She didn't stop her when she drew the knife to her neck. She has been living involuntarily all her life, and this time, she wants to be the master herself."

Cang Lang was anxious: "Without the advantages and disadvantages you have stated, how could she be so decisive? Filial piety, kindness and love, Feng Lin, how much do you remember of what I taught you back then!"

Dust swirled in the air and fell into silence.Feng Lin took two steps forward, stood still, and asked, "In the eyes of Mr., am I already hopeless?"

Cang Lang was dumb for a moment, wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

The atmosphere was tense, and someone outside shouted loudly: "Report! My lord, Jiangning's outer warehouse was attacked by bandits, and all the food and grass were robbed!"

Jiangning Wai Cang is located in the Fuming Mountain Col, ten miles east of Guandao, and stores most of the grain and goods looted in this commercial war.

According to the report from the shop outside the city, the granary was looted inside and out, and the guards in charge of guarding were all the city's garrison, and none of the two teams survived.

When everyone heard the words "no survivors", a trace of surprise flashed across their expressions: the garrison army is an active-duty army that is earnestly receiving the imperial court's rations, and its combat power is not weak.An opponent who can wipe out the entire army of two small teams is definitely not a good opponent.

The matter is serious, Feng Lin ordered Jin Yiwei to investigate in many ways, and finally found traces of thieves' activities near the stream not far from the mountain pass.The terrain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is empty, and it is rare to hear news of thieves infesting.

But Fuming Mountain is different from other places. 50 years ago, it was the largest copper mine in Jiangning, and the population was thriving.Since the promulgation of the sea ban in Qingyuan 36, the demand for copper has dropped sharply. After the mining area was abandoned, a large number of miners lost their livelihoods, so they started to make a living by occupying the mountains as kings.The government sent troops to suppress it several times, but it gradually disappeared in the reign of Longkang.

Although the Fuming Mountain bandit seems a little strange to commit the crime at this time, the most urgent task is not to find out the reason behind it, but to recover the stored food before causing panic among the refugees.

During the routine drill of the garrison every ten days, Yan Mo hurriedly sneaked to the camp a few days ago—after the defeat of the Seven Great Merchants, the relationship between Feng Lin and the magistrate became somewhat delicate .Wartime whistleblowers should be severely punished for the crime of treason, but in this troubled time, the reform of Zilitian still needs officials who are familiar with the local conditions to sit in charge, so Feng Lin temporarily spared his life.

The training ground was a hundred miles away from the city, and it was a waste of time to send a message, set off, and then return to the aid.

Feng Lin weighed again and again, using Jin Yiwei as the vanguard, the defenders in the city guarding the two wings, and rushing to fight a quick battle overnight, other than that, there seemed to be no better way.

Yang Dazhi listened to his thoughts, he bowed his hands generously, before the Xiuchun knife was out of its sheath, the handle of the knife was already shining silver under the sun.

"Yu Gong, Jinyiwei wears the emperor's favor, and death is the only reward; Yu privately, the prince killed Sang Ji, Xie Yin and others, and now there is only one Gao Wujiu, brother's big revenge will finally be avenged, the Yang family is grateful to you Endless. The prince has an order, and Yang will die forever."

Feng Lin raised his head slightly, and looked at the clear sky along the eaves. After a moment of silence, he said briefly: "I don't need to die, I only want one victory."

Yang Dazhi took half a step back, leaned his upper body forward, and replied in a deep voice: "I will not disgrace my life if I have a humble job."

Jiangning Waicang was reconstructed from the mining area, it is spacious and shaded.The setting sun comes in obliquely through the sill window, and is divided into thin strips of light spots, sparkling like blue waves.

Cang Lang stepped on one of them and squatted down.

"Hands and feet are so neat, it doesn't look like an ordinary bandit." He observed the depth of the scratches, stretched out his hand to wipe it, and said in thought, "It's more like a private soldier when you hear the order. What do you think?"

The light spot was dazzling, Feng Lin squinted his eyes and said: "After the business war, the seven major merchants lost both property and goods. Yi Dunnan is still in prison and has long been unable to take care of himself. At this time, there is only one person who can spare his mind to disrupt the situation. "

Gao Wugui.

Cang Lang nodded, patted the dust off his palm, and ignored Feng Lin's extended arm: "But if you want to disrupt the situation, what is Jieliang doing? Wouldn't it be better to set it on fire?"

Feng Lin was choked speechless, frowning in thought.

When Cang Lang turned around, he suddenly stopped: "What is that?"

Huai Ying, who was sniffing here and there in the corner, jumped over looking for the sound. The moment she got close to the handful of black spots, her green pupils straightened up, and she jumped back almost immediately, with her half body on the ground and her wolf tail raised high. I've seen it look so scared.

"It's stone fat."

A few days ago, Feng Lin followed the officials of the household department to look at the accounts, and remembered all the goods that entered and exited Jiangning City within ten days. "Three days ago, Yanzhou newspaper ink materials entered the city, and so far we have no trace of them."

Cang Lang heard the name, "According to the practice of the Yan Kingdom, raw materials and finished products are classified into the same category when they enter the customs. Shizhi can be burned, and it can also be used to make ink. The customs declaration is playing a trick. But why? "

The two fell silent at the same time.

Petroleum fat is refined by a secret method, and it has a strong afterburning property. There is no more violent fuel than it. Such dangerous goods entering the city should have been carefully screened.However, someone is currently taking advantage of the chaos of the commercial war to smuggle a large amount of fuel into Jiangning City, and their intention is definitely not just to make a profit.

"Stone fat is combustible, and it is a forbidden item in the storage area. It appears here, and most of it was shaken off from the bandits." Cang Lang worried in his heart, "It seems that we have to speed up the pace of investigation."

At the same moment, Yang Dazhi was also lost in thought when he looked at the untouched food warehouses and the empty camp.

The thieves' lair is huddled in the narrow gap between the two mountains, the terrain is slightly higher than the surrounding sides, and there is only one plank road leading to the top of the mountain.Three checkpoints are set up along the way, and each checkpoint has defensive weapons such as rolling wood and bamboo rafts.

There is a well-trained private soldier hidden in Fuming Mountain!

As soon as this thought came out, Yang Dazhi immediately shuddered.He should have thought that from the moment Gao Wujiu burned down the ancestral temple, maybe it could be traced back to Gao Zheng's death, they were no longer facing a defeat that could be guessed by common sense.

But a real madman.

Before setting off, Cang Lang once looked for him behind his back, and expressed his concerns without hesitation, "The garrison just set off, the city was empty for a few days, and the granary was robbed, it doesn't look like a coincidence. "

Cang Lang told Yang Dazhi that the city's defenses are currently empty, and the team of fine cavalry he leads is the last barrier.Seizing food is of course important, but it is determined not to love to fight. While laying out the outposts, arrange the troops reasonably. If possible, leave some troops outside the city to prepare for emergencies.

Yang Dazhi had no doubts about Mr.'s words, Jin Yiwei sent three columns of spies to investigate in turn, and they reported that the village was not well defended, and it was not difficult to attack by force.But when he took half of the Tiqi up the mountain to check in person, he found that the situation seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

The stockade is empty, not because there are no soldiers, but because all the elite soldiers have come out.As for whom to go, the truth seems to be self-evident.

Looting food is just a cover, if there is no plan for the rainy day, the combat power in the city has already been transferred away from the mountain, and the Jiangning city defense is now just a set of empty shells.

When the summer wind blows, the empty valleys are full of vegetation.The cold sweat on the back of Yang Dazhi's heart was still wet, he suddenly clenched his fist on the palm of his waist, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone divides into two groups, leaving fifty defenders to escort the grain and goods back to the city, and make sure they are safe. The rest of the Jin Yiwei, Mount lightly! Follow me back to the city to help!"

Everyone took orders and got on their horses, the horse's restless snort intertwined in the armor.Just when Yang Dazhi rushed down with his hand, the defenders sent to search the mountain suddenly came to report.

"The fugitive Gao Wujiu's whereabouts have been found in the abandoned mining area in the mountains!"

Reining in his right hand tightened, Yang Dazhi's blood clotted for a moment and suddenly boiled.The name that has been bitten in his heart countless times is now being exposed naked between his fangs.

"What is Gao Wujiu's intention to transport Shizhi into the city?"

Feng Lin supported the armrest, leaned his upper body, and asked in a deep voice.

"I, I really don't know," Yi Dunnan couldn't lift his head under the pressure, his lips moved, "Gao Wujiu confiscated the carriage of the chariot and horse company, and said that something was brought into the city, but he didn't say what it was."

Feng Lin didn't speak, his lowered eyes fixed on the back of Yi Dun's head, his murderous intent suddenly appeared.

"He didn't make it clear that the records of the car and horse dealership are also decorations?" One hand pressed the back of the chair, which seemed to have a soothing force.

Cang Lang leaned over slowly, and the shadow surrounded Yi Dunnan from top to bottom, "Brother Yi Dun, this is not how business is done. The Seven Great Merchants lost so badly, why don't they know how to learn a lesson, huh?"

Yi Dunnan was shocked all over, and raised his head involuntarily, meeting a pair of eyes that were too good-looking and too cold.

He felt the danger in this look and completely forgot to breathe.He believed that it was the owner of these eyes who pushed him into the abyss, but the hatred was inexplicably blown out, leaving only endless fear.

"That day the carriage and feet never reported back to the line, so the records were not complete, and the business war was stalemate at that time, so I didn't bother to ask."

Yi Dunnan's fingernails were full of dirty mud, and he picked at the straw and tried his best to think back, "By the way, I heard the old man inadvertently mentioned that just two days ago, there was a dispute with the gate guard at the car and horse dealer, saying It’s because they don’t want to accept interrogation. Trading companies always pay attention to propriety when declaring customs, so they won’t resist like this for no reason.”

Feng Lin frowned, "Which door?"

"Di Que Gate."

Among the four city gates in Jiangning, except for the Tianque Gate, which is only opened temporarily when Sheng Jia hangs down, the other three gates of "Di, Xuan, and Huang" correspond to industry, commerce, and agriculture respectively.

Cang Lang figured everything out in a flash, "Near the Dique Gate used to be the ordnance workshop of the Ministry of Industry, and there were some unprocessed firecrackers and artillery piled up inside."

Feng Lin suddenly got up and said: "Immediately recall the Jinyiwei, count all the defenders in the city, and surround the Ordnance Workshop. Also, take the token of the king and escort the gentleman out of the city without delay!"

Cang Lang pursed his lips tightly, and just shook his head, only to hear the sound of killing outside the cell, gradually converging into a wave.

Flames exploded in the dark, like meteors falling rapidly.The "Bandits" in the military newspaper surfaced one after another in the night, and the artillery and firecrackers in their hands seemed to have exceeded the equipment of the regular army.This private soldier who has been hiding for a long time is Gao Wujiu's last trump card in Jiangning, and with the existing troops in the city, it is undoubtedly not their opponent.

Fireballs hit the wall one after another, and the violent momentum seemed to overturn the roof.After an earth-shattering explosion, the pungent sulfur smell quickly diffused.

Cang Lang's throat was full of fishy sweetness, and he was deeply immersed in the obscuring gunpowder smoke. He couldn't see anything, but felt a gust of hot wind blowing over his body and head.Squinting his eyes and turning his head, he saw a big hole in the wall, and tiny cracks spread like spider webs.

Through the hole, besides the roar of the artillery, he seemed to hear some kind of rumbling sound like a torrent.

landslide!

This is a cell built by the mountain, with loose soil and steep terrain.The extremely violent bombardment caused vibrations, and the boulders and soil rolled down could bury the whole house deep in the ground in just a moment.

Because he couldn't hear his own voice clearly, Cang Lang had no choice but to raise his voice desperately and shout: "The house is about to collapse, go, go now!"

"That's too late."

Feng Lin pushed aside Yi Dunnan, whose brains had been blown out by the fire blunderbuss, and threw himself into the waves from behind just by instinct, and rolled him to the corner, holding him tightly in his arms with his arms, leaning against his side face Say "don't be afraid" repeatedly.

In the next moment, the sky and the earth spun, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

When Cang Lang woke up, he was still in Feng Lin's arms. They were stuck in the narrow space formed by the broken wood and the wall. Every time they moved, they would bump into their backs or foreheads.

"Ah Lin." Cang Lang turned his face with great difficulty, trying to see Feng Lin who was pressing on him clearly, but there was no response to his persistent cry.

Cang Lang was a little panicked, "Evil disciple, don't scare me into being a teacher!"

Suddenly there was a coughing sound from behind, and a burst of thin and hot breath sprayed on the neck.Feng Lin woke up, smiled, and said in a nasal voice, "Sir, I'm in so much pain."

Knowing that he was fine, Cang Lang felt a little relieved.His own chest was so painful that he couldn't breathe, but he still tried his best to free his hand, trying to touch the wolf cub's side face.

When I touched it, my fingertips were wet and sticky.

Cang Lang heard it.

is blood.
