Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 171
Zeng San first ordered three eloquent subordinates, namely Na Lou, Fang and Wang.Let Lou Dezhao pretend to be the newly hired teacher of the county government, while Fang and Wang pretend to be servants to catch the police.After the preparations were completed, the gangsters detained Chen Weiye in the temple, and together with Zeng San and the second demon envoy, they escorted Chen Jinyuan back to the county government.

Chen Jinyuan dared not disobey Zeng San's arrangement because his nephew's life was in the hands of the thieves.After returning to the Yamen, Chen Jinyuan summoned the officials of Qi and appointed Lou, Fang and others in public.He also said that he and Dianshi will go to their hometown to visit their relatives immediately, and before returning, Master Lou will have full authority to handle all official affairs in the county.

Hearing the order from the county magistrate himself, although all the officials felt that the matter was in a hurry, no one was suspicious.After handing over the seal letter, Zeng San and others secretly coerced Chen Jinyuan to be imprisoned in the temple again.

In this way, not only were the bandits not afraid of Erchen Dao telling what they saw, but they also made Pinggu a county fall into their own hands.With the banner of "county government", it will naturally be much more convenient to do things in the future.

Those who bully the underworld still have to hide it.The county guards are easy to fool, but if there is an official document from the imperial palace to be dispatched, it needs to be signed by the county magistrate and returned.Therefore, the bandits were not in a hurry to kill Er Chen. If there were important documents above, they would be brought to the temple by Lou Dezhao, and Chen Jinyuan would sign and seal them before sending them out.

During his imprisonment, Chen Jinyuan still wanted to escape.However, the gangsters were closely guarded, and Chen Jinyuan failed in repeated trials, and his legs were broken instead.Fearing that it would be wrong again, Zeng San ordered his subordinates to shave off Chen Jinyuan's hair, and locked him and Chen Weiye in the pagoda together.

The pagoda was connected to the dark hall, and after a while, Er Chen noticed something different underground.Chen Jinyuan forced him to go on hunger strike several times, and only then did Zeng San tell the "truth".

According to Zeng San, they hid in the temple in order to develop a western medicine.Although this kind of potion was listed as an imported banned drug by the imperial court, it was actively traded in private among the people.Zeng San said that they only want to make profits, and they don't want to harm anyone. After the oriental experts develop the medicine, they will release Er Chen and then fly away.

Chen Jinyuan thought to himself: When the opium was first introduced to China, it was used for medicinal purposes.What the gangsters are plotting must be similar.Chen Jinyuan asked about the missing villagers again, but Zeng San swore that he had not detained them.

In order to convince Er Chen, Zeng San specially escorted them to look around the temple, not even missing the underground hall.At that time, the first batch of villagers who went up the mountain had already been killed by Sakamoto, and their corpses were sealed in the statue in the Bufo Hall, so Er Chen naturally couldn't see anything unusual.Seeing that there were only some live poultry and livestock in the underground hall, Chen Jinyuan believed Zeng San's words to a certain extent.

During his imprisonment, Er Chen often wanted to look for opportunities to escape, but there were bandits guarding both inside and outside the tower, and it was difficult to escape from the clutches of the tower.

Until the last few nights, the bandits on duty did not arrive for some reason, leaving Sakamoto alone in the hall in the tower.Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Chen Weiye wanted to take the risk.He quietly broke the rope and groped into the cellar lightly.

As soon as Chen Weiye went underground, Sakamoto noticed it immediately.The two did not give in, and immediately scuffled into a ball.Chen Weiye just got out of the shackles, his hands and feet were not very flexible, and it didn't take long before he fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing that Sakamoto was difficult to deal with, Chen Weiye felt anxious, he fumbled a medicine bottle from the case, and wanted to throw it at Sakamoto.

Unexpectedly, when Sakamoto saw the medicine bottle in Chen Weiye's hand, his face turned pale in shock. He retreated quickly, waved his hands, and shouted "No" in blunt Chinese.It turned out that what Chen Weiye was holding was the Huliela virus.

Although Chen Weiye didn't know Hu Liella well, he could tell that Sakamoto was quite afraid of the medicine bottle in his hand.So he used this to coerce Sakamoto, rescued Chen Jinyuan, and opened the entrance to the upper pagoda.

As soon as the three of them came out of the tower, ninjas and fierce monks surrounded them.The bandits recognized the potion in the bottle, even though they held the hidden weapon in their hands, they didn't dare to act rashly.

However, Chen Jinyuan's legs were broken and it was inconvenient for him to walk. Chen Weiye supported him with one hand and held the bottle with the other.

A ninja took advantage of Chen Weiye's footsteps at Hu's tail, rushed forward, snatched Sakamoto out first, and then grabbed Chen Weiye's wrist.Seeing that the two of them would have no hope of escaping if they dragged on, Chen Jinyuan hugged the ninja desperately and let Chen Weiye escape first.

At a critical juncture, Chen Weiye weighed his interests and had no choice but to let go of Chen Jinyuan and stumbled down the mountain road.

Zhu Ren chased after him, and the rest of the bandits dragged Chen Jinyuan back to the temple.The whole night, Chen Jinyuan was in fear, until dawn, three relatives of Zeng came to the pagoda, scolded Chen Weiye for wishful thinking, and was chased and killed by ninjas.And as a punishment, they had already planted a root of disaster in Fengluotan. If Chen Jinyuan dared to flee again, he would pay for the lives of the entire village.

Because he didn't see Chen Weiye's body, Chen Jinyuan thought that his nephew had already escaped, and Zeng San became angry from embarrassment, so he threatened him.As for what to do with Feng Luotan, he didn't take it too seriously.

But the next day, a severe epidemic really broke out in Fengluotan at the foot of the mountain. After seeing it with his own eyes, Chen Jinyuan knew that Zeng San had indeed done something wrong.Chen Jinyuan loved the people like his son, and immediately begged the bandits to let the villagers go.Zeng San took the opportunity to "make an agreement with Chen Jinyuan in three chapters", saying that it is okay to spare the villagers, but in the future Chen Jinyuan will obey the orders of the bandits.

Then, the bandits went down the mountain to eliminate the disaster, and brought all the remaining villagers into the temple the next day.At that time, Zeng San was nowhere to be seen, so Chen Jinyuan had no choice but to ask Hongzhi for advice.Hongzhi said, the residual poison in the villagers' bodies was not cleared, so they brought them into the temple for Sakamoto to continue treatment.

Chen Jinyuan didn't believe it, so Hongzhi swore a poisonous oath, saying that if he lied, he would die badly.For a desperado like Hongzhi, it's common for him to tell a few lies, but he didn't expect that his casual swearing would come true in a short time.At that time, Hongzhi also said that if someone entered the temple again, Chen Jinyuan had to help the bandits to cover it up, otherwise, he would drag the villagers of Hecun to be buried with him.

Later, when Feng Lu went to the temple to investigate, Chen Jinyuan recognized Lu Bantou, and he thought it was Chen Weiye who went to the capital to report to Shuntian Mansion.However, Chen Jinyuan couldn't help hesitating when he saw that the visitor seemed to be ignorant.

At that time, Hongzhi was by his side, and Feng Lu was just two people. Chen Jinyuan didn't dare to risk the lives of the villagers, so he followed the wishes of the bandits.But after all, the opportunity is rare, Chen Jinyuan deliberately said some secret words to remind him, hoping that Feng Luneng would notice the abnormality and bring about a turning point...

Hearing this, everyone had a general idea of ​​the whole matter.However, there is another hidden story, apart from Zeng San, the second envoy and the villains who were slaughtered, others will probably never know about it.

It turned out that that night, as soon as Zhu Ren chased to Fengluotan at the foot of the mountain, he discovered Chen Weiye's trail.In a panic, Chen Weiye was scratched all over his body by the ninja's gauntlet hook.Fortunately, the ninja was afraid of the tiger he was carrying, so he didn't dare to bully him too much.But at that time Chen Weiye was seriously injured, and Zhu Ren was chasing after him. He fled to the ferry with difficulty, but he lost his strength and fell into the wrong river.

The current of the Cuo River was not small, and before Chen Weiye could struggle, he was sucked into the bottom of the river and never came up again.Everyone thought: Chen Weiye was seriously injured and drowned, he must have escaped death, if the medicine bottle in his bosom broke, even if he had a few lives, he would have to account for them all.

Worried that the river had been infected with Huliela, all the ninjas refused to go into the water, and searched along the bank for a while before returning in vain.

Knowing the details, Zeng San was worried, and while asking Sakamoto to make an antidote, he hurriedly planted killers near the county government.

Zeng San's concerns were not without reason.It was also when Chen Weiye was destined to die, and when he woke up, the water rushed to the rocky beach downstream. He wanted to go to the county government to move troops, but he saw bandits blocking his way. Chen Weiye had no choice but to go to Beijing to appeal.And that medicine bottle, when he fell into the water, suddenly sank to the bottom of the water, after several impacts, the bottle cork loosened, and the Hu Lie La inside was soaked out, which finally caused a catastrophe.

The bandits treat the lives of the villagers as insignificant, but when misfortunes happen, the cliff temple will inevitably be exposed.Later, although the epidemic was suppressed with the vaccine developed by Sakamoto, it still attracted the attention of Shuntian Prefecture.Zeng San knew that Lu Ban was a liar, but Feng Shen was not easy to deal with, so after threatening Chen Jinyuan with lies, he led the two demon envoys to run away first.

After Zeng San left, the remaining bandits became more and more unscrupulous.Over the past few months, Sakamoto has only used poultry and livestock for research, and the progress is not fast.Seeing that the activities in the temple are always going on, he has the evil idea of ​​experimenting with living people.

So Sakamoto ordered the bandits to take all the villagers of Fengluotan into the temple.At first, the purpose of kidnapping the villagers was to kill people and silence them.This time Sakamoto only for the comparison of injection bacteria, naturally it is not the same.While observing the poisonous effect, he prepared it accordingly.Although the villagers died one after another, Sakamoto's development speed has been greatly increased...

Although Feng Shen and others didn't know about this episode, just listening to what Chen Jinyuan said was enough to break their hearts.

"His grandma's!" Lu Ban burst into anger and had nowhere to vent his anger, he chopped the steel knife in his hand on the ground until the edge curled up.

Chen Jinyuan originally thought that he could bear the humiliation and fight against the enemy in exchange for the lives of the villagers, but he didn't want to be so tired that the whole village was almost wiped out, and his heart was saddened.

Su Wang sighed: "Arranging terms with Zeng San and other bandits, isn't it like seeking skin from a tiger? Magistrate of Pinggu County, you are really confused..."

"The offender knows his crime," Chen Jinyuan said in pain, "the offender's rule of the county is not strict, so that poisonous patients are born in the elbow and armpit, and he is willing to die to thank the blame!"

"It's no wonder you..." King Su was about to continue when he saw Chuan Dao walking towards him.

"My lord," Chuan Dao said with a bow, "the garrison army has wrapped up the corpse, please let me go."

"You want to slap your ass and leave?" Lu Ban said angrily, "How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!?"

Chuan Dao said coldly: "The grievance has the head, the debt has the owner, the hero has the fire and the anger, please don't blame others!"

"Damn it! I still wronged you?"

Lu Ban wanted to step forward again, but was held down by Feng Shen.

Feng Shen looked around at the crowd, pointing at one person. "If you want to go, you might as well leave him first!"
