Yàn Ruofei and others waited below for a long time but didn't see anyone coming out, and gradually became anxious.
Have to go up and find them.Yàn Ruofei couldn't help but say.Zhang Ning is the person in charge of the case who was ordered to investigate the case. He is also of the highest rank among the crowd. If life and death are unknown, everyone can’t come up with an explanation, how can they get the job?Even if the chief general died in the army, his personal soldiers would be punished.
In short, if Zhang Ning has a good life, Wu Yong and Yàn Ruofei will not have a good life.
It is also possible to get the body back after death. It can be said that Zhang Ning did not listen to the advice and experienced the adventures in his own hands. However, if he disappeared without understanding, neither Shangfeng nor Zhang Ning's family would follow.
Yàn Ruofei is Hu Ying's confidant and speaks very well, but he still said to Zhang Ning's deputy official Wu Yong in a suggestive tone: Why not do this? Mr. Wu takes two entourages to Yongshun to find Xuan Wei's envoy to assist, and the rest of the people camp with me nearby and wait. If Lord Zhang doesn't come down until dark, I will take people up tomorrow morning to check it out.
Wu Yong nodded and said: This is the only way to do it.But this place is dangerous, Brother Yàn must be careful.
Yàn Ruofei smiled bitterly: Lord Zhang couldn't listen to the advice and insisted on going. What else can I do now? If I don't go up and find out what I want to explain to Mr. Hu when I go back?
After the discussion, Yàn Ruofei took most of the people out of the canyon and set up camp, and sent someone to stay in the valley one after another.
……
Zhang Ning and the others were arrested waiting in the cave for a long time, and then someone came from the other end and carried them into the cave in the mountains.
Except for the road illuminated by the torches, the front and back were pitch black, and there was a thin stream of water under your feet.
The air is not stuffy, but the temperature is obviously much lower than outside, and the gloomy cold makes people tremble.
Occasionally a drop of water will fall from above to the collar, and if you are not careful, it will make people tremble all over.
I don’t know how long I walked, but after a turn, the light appeared in front of me, and the cave should be over.
Zhang Ning followed him out of the cave and felt dizzy when he looked down. It turned out that there was a cliff below the exit of the cave, and there were no railings on the roadside. He was shocked at the first time. He doubted whether he had a fear of heights.
The valley at this end is deeper than in front, and the lush treetops are lush and green. The scent of autumn is almost impossible to feel. Only the red color of the maple trees in it is dotted with it.
The wind is gone, and the atmosphere of withering is gone. The birds and the sound of running water in the lush plants give people a feeling of vitality.
Zhang Ning was infected by the natural scenery, and his worry was reduced a lot.
He looked around and saw that some buildings made of bamboo and wood could be seen in the mountains, and occasionally people could be seen. Although those buildings were relatively simple, it was not easy to build houses on this mountain wall.
They were carried along the narrow stone road and walked for a while to a sunken cave.
The ground was leveled, and a statue of the god was enshrined in the cave, with incense burners, eternal lights and other objects, and there were cushions on the ground.
There were five or six people carrying weapons standing inside, all of whom were wearing bamboo hats and yarn curtains; most of them were wearing Tujia cloth-dyed blue clothes, and only one was wearing a light-colored dress.
And it seems that no man is seen, no one is seen, no one is seen.
Zhang Ning looked at the woman in light green clothes quietly, and she was almost spotless from head to toe. She lived in this kind of mountain and wore a light-colored white skirt. She could keep it so clean and at a higher level.
Sure enough, the woman pointed at the tone and said to the people around her: The woman is locked up, and the man is escorted with me.
Zhang Ning had no choice but to separate from Xu Wenjun.
He walked up the cliff, walked a few sections of stone roads, and gradually heard the sound of water. After turning along the road, a spectacular waterfall came into view.
I have to say that the scenery of this place is really good, it looks like a paradise. If I hadn't been arrested and faced with life danger, I would have been able to return home on holidays.
The waterfall was actually not big, but the scene was particularly atmospheric when it poured from the top of the high mountain. The white water splashes were flying in the air like hazy light rain.
What's even more strange is that there is a larger cave inside the waterfall, and the scenery is like a water curtain cave.
There is also a stone step next to the Water Curtain Cave. As you look along the stone steps, you can see a relatively flat place on one side of the waterfall. The hip-mounted roof can be seen in the mist, as if it is covered with green tiles.
Zhang Ning was escorted into the Water Curtain Cave first, and saw a few women in blue standing there, standing still without moving, as if they were guards.
It is not allowed to stay in the water curtain cave, but goes up along the stone steps.
As I climbed the steps, I saw clearly the buildings that were not really visible through the waterfall. I saw a yard on the platform with a green tiles and gray-green wall. The walls were not made of earth but bamboo and some wood. The tiles looked like real fired tiles.
There is actually a pond at the gate of the yard. Red maple leaves float on the water surface, and white smoke is faintly emitted. The water seems to be warm. It turns out that there is a sun ditch extending from the back of the house to the pond. The hot water flows from the sun ditch, perhaps because there is a hot spring on the side of the mountain.
The two women in blue who were escorted Zhang Ning were handed over after the woman in white dress came out of the yard, they turned around and left without following in.
The layout of this yard is special, and there is a hall when entering the main entrance.
Zhang Ning was pushed by the person behind him, his hands were tied up, and his body was not easy to control balance. He staggered in and almost fell down and chewed the mud.
Kneel down!A woman shouted.
Perhaps the kneeling ceremony in ancient times was relatively ordinary, but Zhang Ning's modern thoughts were at work, and people couldn't kneel down under the eaves.Fortunately, a voice said at this time: Don’t make things difficult for him, let me ask him what he said.
The sound is soft and ethereal. I don’t know if it is because of the claustrophobia of the environment, but it seems to have a sound.
Zhang Ning was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the sound. He saw a curtain pulling in front of him. There was a figure sitting in the curtain, and he could not see him.
With such a pomp, Zhang Ning could use his toes to imagine that the person in the curtain had a very high status in warding off the cult, and maybe he was their leader.
His mind became active again, thinking about many lines, and negotiating. It was not without words: he was an official, and he was an official with a destiny. He disappeared here without understanding. The government had no choice but to do something unsuccessful. He would definitely come to search. It may not take long before Yongshun's army will come.
If the cult kills officials, it is equivalent to treason and there will be great trouble.
Zhang Ning planned to follow this idea to intimidate this woman who is suspected to be the leader.
No matter what leader or leader, they are all human beings. No one in the world is afraid of doing whatever they want. His own reason is not just a random fabrication. There is indeed a great possibility that what he said is.
Zhang Ning was trying hard to think about this head, and the leader quickly spoke up and asked lightly: Your name is Zhang Ning, and your courtesy name is Ping'an?
yes.Zhang Ning nodded and replied, looking like he was cooperating.His seals, official documents, letters and other items were searched, and the leader mostly got the information from it.
Who chose the name and where is the family from?The man asked again, speaking faster.
Zhang Ning said in surprise: Of course, the name was chosen by his parents... His hometown is Shangyuan County, Zhili, Nanzhili.
Zhang Ning, the Minister of Rites, I ask you to answer truthfully. My words can determine your life and death. Do you understand?
Zhang Ning said sincerely: It is not a false statement. I am indeed Zhang Ning, the Minister of Rites. His name is Ping'an. It is not difficult to find out after inquiring in the officialdom.I have never done anything bad, I can't change my surname or name, what's there to hide?
Is the word "大" also chosen by parents?The leader asked.
This sentence immediately stumped him. According to the principle, the word "大" must be started by elders or teachers when adults are adults. This is something that only scholars have. Isn't it useless to do things for farmers?
He paused and didn't want her to suspect that he was lying, so he fooled: It was also my parents, maybe my mother hopes to live a peaceful life in the future.
You take five steps forward.The man behind the curtain ordered.
The servant Bai Shang next to him immediately turned around and stared at him.
He carefully counted his steps and walked five steps, because he was tall and long, he was very close to the curtain. He vaguely realized that he was owing his body inside, as if he was looking at him carefully.
There is no man in the cult headquarters. I want to see if I look handsome or not, and I want me to be a duck-sleeping service?
If you look OK, there is no pressure. Not to mention a sound killer, it sounds nice and scary, that's sad enough.
At this time, the woman inside said: Take it down and watch.
The servants around him walked up and pushed Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning felt a little confused for a moment. Maybe he had thought about it all, and the other party ended the conversation like this...
If you are not allowed to say it, no matter how many truths you make, it is really a bit uncomfortable.
He walked unwillingly and turned around and said: I am an imperial envoy, which is aimed at the cult ward off the cult from the capital. Perhaps the leader can get a lot of things from me...
Stop talking, the leader ordered you to leave, don’t you understand?Give me some knowledge.The woman who was escorting him behind scolded him.
After Zhang Ning was taken down, the leader ordered: Arrange a better place for him and eat carefully, so don’t tie him up and don’t let him down.He also had a female entourage who was released to live with him and asked his own people to take care of him... He had any requirements, as long as he didn't try to follow him as much as possible.
When the people below must have been a little confused when they heard of such preferential treatment of prisoners, but no one talked too much, just answered: Yes.
The figure in the curtain swayed, and the leader stood up and said softly: Xiaoyue, go to the study to grind the ink, I will come later.
A woman bowed and replied: Yes.
Have to go up and find them.Yàn Ruofei couldn't help but say.Zhang Ning is the person in charge of the case who was ordered to investigate the case. He is also of the highest rank among the crowd. If life and death are unknown, everyone can’t come up with an explanation, how can they get the job?Even if the chief general died in the army, his personal soldiers would be punished.
In short, if Zhang Ning has a good life, Wu Yong and Yàn Ruofei will not have a good life.
It is also possible to get the body back after death. It can be said that Zhang Ning did not listen to the advice and experienced the adventures in his own hands. However, if he disappeared without understanding, neither Shangfeng nor Zhang Ning's family would follow.
