The strange thing is that Zhang Xiaojing is very rude in the West City and Zoroastrianism Temple. When facing a real wicked man here, he is very polite. Yao Runeng had already desperately thought about it, but neither of them had any intention of starting.

Zhang Xiaojing said: "Ge Lao, you still owe me a favor." Ge Lao "tucked" and patted the cat in his arms: "Arrears and repayment of money, killing people to pay for their lives, this is the old slave's way of man. You Say it. "

Zhang Xiaojing took out a wooden sign and threw it in front of him: "This belongs to a tortoise named Long Bo. I want to know which one was awarded to him, which girl they have been close to, and where they are now. Immediately To know."

Ge Lao pinched the wooden sign with his thin hands, looked at it carefully, reached out to lift the lid of the medicine pot, and knocked on the side of the pot. An elaborate servant walked into the yard. Ge Lao ordered a few words, and the servant left in a hurry.

Ge Lao stared at Zhang Xiaojing: "Isn't this the case of Wannian County?" Zhang Xiaojing showed the "Jing'an Ceping" waist card, shook it, and then took it back. Ge Lao got up slowly, saying that it was inconvenient for me to serve tea to the people on the official front. You can do it yourself, and then turned and entered the house.

Faced with Yao Runeng's doubts, Zhang Xiaojing briefly introduced it. This Ge Lao was originally a monk from overseas, and was sold to Chang'an around the time of the Shenlong. He was first a slave in a servant's family named Ge, and later he was sold to the Blue House as a servant. The ordinary Kunlun slave has a gentle and gentle temperament, and his mind is not very clever, only Ge is a strange one. He was able to talk and talk about it, he met every source from the left and the right, and was so confused that he quickly moved his master to release him from slavery.

Over the years, he has been a master of the Sanqu Qinglou. If a girl is unconvinced or ran away, he also manages and arrests. Over time, Ge Lao was ruthless with his heart and became the biggest trafficker in Pingkang. The shantytown is his world. All the girls know that Ningya Xianggong is not annoying Ge Lao.

When Zhang Xiaojing was in Wannian County, he had handled several cases of abduction of slightly benefactors. It's a pity that Ge Lao has been sly, never lost his wind, and has stayed in the shack safely to this day. This time when he came to Pingkangli to work, Zhang Xiaojing knew that if he negotiated with those mothers, he would inevitably push back three times, and it would be time-consuming.

"Isn't this a collusion with the wicked?" Yao Ru could not understand.

Because several of the elders in the family died of robbers, Yao Runeng was least able to see these thieves rampant. In his view, as long as the face is taken, he should be shot and killed without any hesitation. He never imagined that Zhang Xiaojing, as a man in the government, actually talked to them about the conditions.

Zhang Xiaojing said: "Mouses have rat roads, snakes have snake roads, wicked people have wicked ways, and some things can't be done by the government."

"But this shanty town is clearly in Pingkang Lane, and dozens of arresters will be able to calm down. How can the government mansion tolerate a small trafficker here? This clearly violates the Datang Law!"

"Think it yourself, the answer to this question is your second lesson." Zhang Xiaojing answered.

Yao Ru could bite her lip in disapproval, thinking that this answer would be false. He suddenly thought that Zhang Xiaojing had been a bad and handsome man for nine years in Chang'an City, and the hidden things in his body were only afraid of Shan Duo. Ge Lao said that he owes others affection. Have they ever colluded before?

In this way, Zhang Xiaojing's hands and feet must not be very clean, perhaps because of this kind of thing. Thinking of this, Yao Ru was able to stand still a step further and remembered his other important duty.

It didn't take long for Ge Lao to send back the news. This wooden sign was awarded by Zhao Tuan'er's family. Long Bo started to shop here half a year ago. He came here once every ten years, and every time he looked for a girl named Tong'er. Although he was not generous, he never owed money.

"Walking the horse or staying there?" Zhang Xiaojing asked. This is the jargon of Pingkangli. Walking a horse means traveling with a prostitute, staying in Mu means staying overnight.

"Occasionally Mu Xiang, often when walking a horse."

Zhang Xiaojing's eyes flashed. Huaiyuanfang is far away from here, and the neighbors are mostly religious devotees of Zoroastrianism. Long Bo cannot take Tong'er back—that is, he has another place to stay.

"Where is Tong'er now?"

"Little Nizi's heart is spring, she eloped with an example a day ago."

Zhang Xiaojing smiled slightly: "Will there be a flying bird in Ge Lao's hand?" Hearing this, the folds on Ge Lao's black face stretched out, and his fat lips were grinning, revealing white teeth. Lying in the night.

He ticked his finger and said to follow me.

Ge Lao wrapped up the big fur and led them into the labyrinth-like shack. The roof of the shack was covered with uneven thickness of thatch. During the walk, the sunlight transmitted through it suddenly flickered, making everyone's expression appear a little confused. On both sides of the aisle, there is a small compartment, some wooden doors are locked, and some are completely open, but without exception, they smell of straw rot. The figures inside are quiet and silent, like walking dead.

Yao Ru was able to walk, and suddenly a skeleton hand stretched out from the darkness, scaring him to cry. A closer look reveals that a skinny woman is lying in front of the door. Ge Lao whispered, and the woman quickly drew back her hand.

Ge Lao kept walking, and his voice sounded coldly between these ghosts: "Outsiders Dao Pingkangli is a heavenly ecstasy, all of them are fairy gods, but they don't know how much filth behind this. The disfigured Fengkui, the born crippled doll ... Nowhere to go, no one to contain, all gathered here like sewage, and waited for reincarnation. The old slave did all the bad things and was never afraid of infernal hell— Hey, I'm already karma in it, I don't feel anything new. "

Yao Ru was so shocked that he didn't expect the dark place in Pingkang Li to be so dirty and dirty. He turned his head and saw that Zhang Xiaojing didn't change his face, obviously already knowing it.

They finally arrived in a dark wood house. Opening the door, there were two people hanging in it, a man and a woman, all covered in blood, and their expressions languished. The woman's goose jacket was broken, revealing ivory-like skin. The male's fine skin and tender flesh looks like a weak scholar, with his head hanging down, and he seems to be in a coma. A deformed dwarf with crooked facial features stood aside, holding a leather whip.

Zhang Xiaojing was about to step forward, but Ge Ge reached out and stopped them, and took them to the next room: "Brother Zhang, your favor is only here." He meant it very clearly. I tell you where this woman is, The relationship is over. The next thing to do with this woman would have to be counted.

Zhang Xiaojing said: "I owe you a favor." Ge Lao sneered: "The friendship of the dying person is inadequate. Change it." Yao Ru can quickly interjected: "Jing Ansi can pay you enough compensation." Glancing at him, indifferent, as if looking at a funny haiyou.

Yao Ru was so anxious, how could he be delayed here by an old Kunlun slave. He drew his saber and shouted, "I'm obstructing Jing'an's handling of the case. Believe it or not, I'll calm your shack within an hour!"

Ge Lao shrugged. He had heard threats in his life, afraid that he had more words than the little guy had said. Zhang Xiaojing patted Yao Runeng's shoulders, let him back, and then looked at Ge Lao: "What do you want?" Ge Lao narrowed his eyes and looked at him, as if thinking about what could be squeezed from the dead prisoner. He suddenly smiled, his dark folds fluttered, and extended two fingers: "Two."

Zhang Xiaojing's two short eyebrows suddenly twisted, hesitating again and again, returning a finger. Ge Lao thought for a moment and smiled, "Just do it." Zhang Xiaojing's face was not pretty, but he nodded.

Yao Ru can be a little confused. The two of them are dumb and mysterious. What do you mean?

Ge Laogong said to allow me to retreat for a moment, and then disappeared into the dark. Zhang Xiaojing stood at the same place, leaning against the pillar, his fingers dusting the dust in his eye sockets. The faint light from the ceiling outlined him with a gray silhouette.

"Zhang Duwei, what conditions are you talking to him?"

"Just now I promised him that I would tell him the name of a secret pile in the mansion." Zhang Xiaojing replied lightly.

Yao Runeng shook his shoulders, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help saying, "You ... how can you do this?"

Zhang Xiaojing was a bad handsome in Wannian County. He knew the power of the government in the underworld, and he might even have personal control. Yao Ru could not have imagined that this guy actually betrayed his colleagues to the thieves for the convenience of coveting things! This is incredible!

Zhang Xiaojing said: "This is the only way to get cooperation from Ge and Lao."

Yao Runeng quietly moved his right hand to the handle of the knife, and Li Bi's instructions came before his mind.

Li Mi had seen him alone before he left. Once he discovered that Zhang Xiaojing had signs of escape or betrayal, he would immediately call the police. If he was in a place where no warning could be given, he would personally terminate it. Yao Runeng felt that Zhang Xiaojing had shown his feet now. He didn't believe it at all. There must be a problem, and he must be stopped before he betrays more government interests.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaojing saw that he was going to start. He flew up and kicked him to the ground. He killed in one eye: "Be honest!" Yao Ru was able to struggle for a while, but he didn't get up, which shows his strength The importance of Tao. He curled up into a ball in pain, but his eyes were burning with anger.

It's shameless to rely on selling secret bureaucrats in exchange for intelligence! Yao Ru struggled to get up from the ground and asked aloud, "Why should you betray yourself?"

Zhang Xiaojing glanced at him coldly and said: "Li Sicheng's order is to stop the Turks at all costs. Do you understand? At all costs."

"To achieve the goal, don't you even want to be a person's bottom line and morals?" Yao Runeng thought this was ridiculous.

"I only care about whether the hundreds of thousands of lives in Chang'an can be saved."

Yao Runeng, who was stabbed back, blushed, and he defended: "You are a strong word. The gentleman has something to do, some has nothing to do. If these thieves want you to do something big and evil, er, for example Against the emperor, do you agree? "

Zhang Xiaojing nodded slightly: "The life of one person is naturally inferior to that of all people."

Facing such rebellious remarks, Yao Ruen was shocked: "How dare you ..." He didn't finish the sentence, and was suddenly grabbed his neck by a force, and his back banged hard against the wall. Zhang Xiaojing's one-eye was almost on the tip of his nose, and his hoarse voice sounded fiercely in his ear:

"Listen, there are only three hours before the destruction of Chang'an City. We haven't touched the Turkic people yet. Leave me without help!"

Yao Runeng shook his neck and showed no weakness: "Don't pretend, you don't care about the safety of Changan at all. You are a prisoner of death, you must have done something wrong, you hate the court!" Zhang Xiaojing's expression was subtle in the light and darkness The change is an indescribable bitter smile, with sarcasm and sadness hidden in it.

"Yes, I hate this court, but only I can save it."

At this moment, a crowd of footsteps came, and more than 20 people came in one after another, all men, all of different heights and different ages, all short jackets and white shirts. Yao Ru can recognize several of these faces, all seen in the casino. Ge Lao let them stand in a row, and then made a gesture to Zhang Xiaojing.

Yao Ru could be stiff, even if he didn't understand code words, he knew what Ge Lao meant. Unexpectedly, this Kunlun slave was so cruel, not only to ask Zhang Xiaojing to name the secret pile, but also to point him out in person. The next thing you do n’t need to know is that you will let Zhang Xiaojing kill the secret pile with your own hands before you can complete the agreement. This is called a nomination.

Yao Ru could look nervously at Zhang Xiaojing and was about to question. Suddenly his neck was cut sharply by the latter and he fainted.

Ge Lao chuckled: "You are quite distressed about this little official Harrier, he is like you back then." Zhang Xiaojing did not answer this, but walked over and scanned the twenty or so people.

The muscles in Zhang Xiaojing's cheeks twitched slightly. Even death row prisoners who help former enemies to identify with bureaucrats still have to overcome great psychological obstacles. His arm slowly lifted, and Ge Lao suddenly said again: "Zhang Shuai, in fact, you have another way to choose."

"Ok?"

"The old eyes of old slaves can see that this life is the official mansion that threatens you with a pardon for death?"

Zhang Xiaojing remained silent, but did not deny it.

"Oh, they like to do this." Ge Lao's fingers are elegantly put together, "How about we make another deal? I don't force you to recognize people, as long as you tell Changan about old slaves, old The slave will send you out of the city smoothly. From then on, the sea is wide and the fish is leaping.

I have to say that Ge Lao's proposal is very tempting. As long as he left Chang'an City, Zhang Xiaojing was completely free. Jing Anji and Li Bi couldn't care about it — they didn't know if they could live tonight — and the price Zhang Xiaojing had to pay was minimal.

This way is much easier than he killed his former colleagues in exchange for intelligence, and then carried the suspicion to track down the Turkic murderers.

The room became very quiet, only the woman crying from the next door. Zhang Xiaojing stood in the shadow, closed his eyes briefly, and reopened it within a flick of his finger. He lifted his hands and dusted the eye socket: "Sorry, Ge Lao. This time, I can't go yet."

"You just like to be a running dog for the court?"

"No, it has nothing to do with the imperial court this time." Zhang Xiaojing looked up, and a faint light blew down from the gap of the thatch.

"Sterky," Ge Lao said sharply, and then stretched his waist. "Oh, Lao Nuren is righteous, then please identify the dark pile, preferably the one you sent in before, I love to watch Such a play. "

Zhang Xiaojing glanced at everyone again and his eyes became firm. Suddenly kneeling on one leg, Su Rong bowed his hands: "What happened today is really an emergency, and I have to do it. Stay under Jiuquan, and confess guilt."

One of the team members changed his complexion and hurriedly jumped back. Zhang Xiaojing got up and shot suddenly, the knife flashed across the man's throat. When other people hadn't responded, he fell to the ground softly and died in anger. It was Xiao Yi who just opened the door.

The begging head in the casino stood in the queue, his legs shaking.

"Uh, a little regret, you shouldn't let you do it yourself." Ge Laolue licked his lips unwillingly. "If it falls in our hands, I'm afraid that I won't be dead three days after death."

Zhang Xiaojing, Tie Qing's face, raised his knife again. The begging head of the casino "kudo" fell to his knees and screamed: "I really can't get mixed in the public door, so I went to the old Ge, I'm for money, not a secret pile!" He was arrogant. Screaming, suddenly saw a **** finger falling in front of him. Begging his head at a loss, he looked up and saw that Zhang Xiaojing's left hand had a small thumb cut off by Qi Gen, and the blood was flowing wildly.

The whole audience was silent, only Zhang Xiaojing's voice sounded: "Xiao Yi was brought in by me personally, and I personally betrayed. For the sake of the overall situation, I don't regret it. I will return this killing sooner or later-but It ’s not now. So for your reference, you will give me a witness. "

Ge Lao shook his head and sneered: "Being pedantic. Just sold it and sold it. As for self-blame?" Zhang Xiaojing ignored him, took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms, and wrapped the wound with one hand. The begging head of the casino looked at Lao Ge timidly, seeing that he had no response, and hurriedly got up and diligently wrapped up Zhang Xiaojing.

In this way, he was familiar with the car, and he did not heal Zhang Zhang when he was in the public door. After the wound was treated, Zhang Xiaojing lifted the corner of his robe and wiped off the blood on the knife. He said to Ge Lao one by one, his expression was painful and unbearable:

"Ge Lao, it's your turn."

At this time the strong killing intentions that came out of him were even dumbfounded by the old black slave. The latter moved his lips, and he didn't say anything ridiculous anymore.

... Yao Ru woke up and found herself lying in the interrogation room, a man and a woman tightly bound in front of her. He was seeing Ge Lao snapping his fingers, and the dwarf handed the leather whip to Zhang Xiaojing.

Is Zhang Xiaojing already identified? Kill all the dark piles? He was about to ask, but was pressed to the ground. Ge Lao turned his head and shushed at him.

Zhang Xiaojing squeezed the whip in front, and looked around the two people back and forth, then stopped on the woman. He said to Tong'er: "I want to ask you a question about Longbo now, and I hope you can answer it truthfully."
