Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 182

The carriage arrived five miles outside the village where Jia Liehu lived. Shen Yuexi stopped the carriage and decided to go to the village on foot, fearing that it would startle the snake.

Mrs. Li felt cold and refused to get out of the carriage.In addition, Dr. Hua was old, so Shen Yuexi asked the two old people to stay in the car to rest and leave guards to watch over them.

Originally Li Wan was afraid of the cold and refused to come, but Shen Yuexi played a trick, saying that she would experience how the yamen female head catcher catches criminals, Li Wan immediately became interested, and Madam Li refused to listen to her persuasion.

The two changed into short-breasted cotton clothes that were convenient for movement, and sneaked into the village with Qiang Lin.Qiang Lin led the guards to investigate the situation. She and Li Wan squatted behind a dry bush, looking at a row of cages hanging in the air not far away.

There are more than 20 cages made of woven wire.Behind a farmhouse surrounded by low walls.

Shen Yuexi said to herself, "This should be the cage used to keep the armadillo."

This farmhouse is the only one in the whole village that has this kind of strange cage. It should be that Jia hunter.

"Mrs. Shen, why did you hang the cage in the air?" Li Wan looked at the cage with great interest and asked.

Shen Yuexi rubbed her hands together, breathed heavily on her hands, and said, "The armadillo makes holes very quickly. If it is not hung in the air and kept on the ground, it will burrow and run away."

Li Wan counted the cages one by one, and said, "But there is no armadillo in the cage."

"In this weather, armadillos are hibernating, maybe in the farmhouse?" Shen Yuexi also answered with some doubts.

She didn't know much more about armadillos than Li Wan, and she didn't have any tools to look up information, so she could only rely on her poor memory.

"Let's take a closer look." Li Wan happily walked towards the farmhouse after speaking.

She grew up in Pingyang Hou's Mansion since she was a child, and she has never had this kind of experience of catching bad guys, and she doesn't know the danger in it.

Shen Yuexi originally planned to wait for Qiang Lin to come back, she always felt that this village was a bit weird.There is no field.What do the villagers here do for a living?

It's just that she didn't expect Li Wan to run away without catching it.

It's lunch time now, and the weather is cold, so few people in the village are walking around outside.Even so, Shen Yuexi didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear of being heard by that Jia Liehu.

She had no choice but to get up and catch up to Li Wan, and said to her: "Don't be so impulsive, we are not really arresting people."

Li Wan replied disapprovingly: "See if you are careful, isn't it just to catch a hunter, we have more than a dozen hidden guards here. How powerful he is, he can deal with so many of us."

Shen Yuexi also felt that she was a little too cautious, so she followed behind Li Wan.

The two walked through the cage to the low wall behind the farmhouse.

Shen Yuexi pulled Li Wan to hide behind the wall, and carefully poked her head out.The first thing I saw was the stable in the yard, where more than a dozen horses were quietly bowing their heads and digging hay in the trough.

How could there be so many horses for a mere hunter?
Just as he was wondering, he heard the door of the yard creak across the farmhouse, and a man's voice said: "General Jia, the general has an order here."

Shen Yuexi was startled.I came here to catch a villain by myself, but I didn't expect that the villain was actually a general.

A rough man's voice replied: "I'm ready to evacuate, what kind of military order does the general have?"

"The general ordered you to continue selling sick armadillos to Xiliang without stopping."

Shen Yuexi was terrified and listened intently.

"It's just unreasonable," said the gruff man impatiently. "That Maple has been cured, and sooner or later people will know that it was caused by this armadillo. I'll risk selling it, and then I will be arrested." What should I do if I live? Didn’t the general think about it?”

"This... the general didn't say anything. The general only said that if he disobeys orders, he... he will..."

"Needless to say," said the rough man's voice, "Go back and report to the general, and say that the general will obey."

Shen Yuexi held her breath, not even daring to breathe.She was relieved when she heard the door closed and there was no movement in the yard.

The information collected now is: Jia Orion is a general, and he sells sick armadillos on the order of the general.

This general is too hateful.If a person has leprosy, he will become indistinguishable from ghosts and humans. It is better to kill him with a knife.This general can even come up with such a sinister trick.

Now the focus is on who this general is.

Is it Xiao Beiheng?
Xiao Beiheng did have enough reasons to do this.But Maple got sick more than two years ago, and selling sick armadillos can only be earlier than this time.

Did Xiao Beiheng start thinking about dealing with Xiliang two years ago?always feel a little fake...

While pondering over there, someone patted on the shoulder suddenly.

Shen Yuexi thought it was Li Wan calling her, so she waved her hand back and said, "Don't disturb me, I'm thinking about something."

"Shen... Mrs. Shen," Li Wan said in a crying voice, "That...isn't me."

Shen Yuexi looked back.

Cough... Five big strange men surrounded the two of them, holding steel knives in their hands, and a knife rested on Li Wan's neck.The other one had just patted her on the shoulder and was about to recycle it.

This female headhunter is really enough to memorize.

Facing the steel knife, Shen Yuexi felt that it was better to be obedient.

The men surrounding them grabbed their collars and dragged Shen Yuexi and Li Wan into the yard and into the farmhouse.

Inside the room was a man with a short stature and a short beard around his jaw, about thirty or so.Seeing Shen Yuexi and Li Wan enter the room, she took back her hand that was warming the fire, looked at Shen Yuexi and said with a smile:

"Just then the sergeant reported that someone was sneaking around the village to investigate. I didn't expect the rats to be two women. Please report their names."

The rough voice matched that of General Jia just now.

Shen Yuexi didn't panic at all, she was used to seeing strong winds and waves, she said to the man without changing her face: "My sister and I just happened to pass by..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Wan stammered and said, "My name is Li Wan, and her name is Shen Yuexi. Don't hurt us, we have 1000 taels of silver...all for you."

Shen Yuexi's nose was almost crooked.

This pig mate.Before anyone asked, he even gave up how much money he had.

She turned her head and glanced at Li Wan, and saw that Li Wan was already frightened and looked dazed.If someone hadn't grabbed her by the collar, she would have collapsed to the ground immediately.

Thinking about it, Li Wan is not like her, she has never experienced such a thing, so it is natural to be afraid.

Forget it, don't blame her.

"Shen Yuexi?" General Jia had no interest in Yinzi, but looked at her in surprise, "Your name is Shen Yuexi, what is the relationship between the deposed prince Xiao Zhuo and you?"

Shen Yuexi felt that it would definitely not be a good thing to let the other party know.He said: "I don't know, there are too many people with the same name in the world."

General Jia didn't panic when he saw her, he didn't look like an ordinary woman at all.Then he sneered, pointed at Li Wan and said:
"Don't tell me if it's true or not, first cut off one of Li Wan's ears."
