After Liao Weizhang got the news that a large number of horseback teams had left the city at the West Gate, coupled with the situation in front of him, Shan Cha guessed that the tiger was leaving the mountain, and he also agreed with Shan Cha's statement, so he immediately chased a large number of people and horses to the West Gate.

It's just that he took the soldiers all the way to the fork in the road, but he didn't wait for the so-called large number of horseback teams, and then the snow froze, and gradually the snow became heavier and heavier.

Everyone hid in the jungle, the weather was cold, and the soldiers' hands and feet were stiff for a long time. Liao Weizhang's cold teeth trembled, and some uneasiness gradually surfaced in his heart, and he turned around and asked Shan Cha, "How long have we been waiting here?"

Shan Cha's brows were slightly twisted, and there was a slight anger in his eyes, which was the humiliation and unwillingness he realized after being teased: "My lord, forgive me, the lower official is wrong, this young master of the righteous march, his mind is really not comparable to ordinary people, a silent move is better than a sound, the sound is east and west, and the lower official miscalculated." ”

When Liao Weizhang heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "What?

Shan Cha sighed, his tone was half annoyed, half helpless: "Missed, they were under our noses just now, but ---- this person is deep in thought, I underestimated him." ”

Although he had never seen the young master of the righteous march, he knew that the man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and to him, a man in his thirties, he was a milky child, but he didn't expect that this milky child would think so far-reaching.

At this moment, Liao Weizhang finally understood what it was to call the fat that flew away again, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, it seemed that no words were enough to describe his mood at this time.

A cold wind blew, he shivered coldly, and finally sighed helplessly: "That's it, go back, at this time, the three of them have already fled without a trace, and they can't catch up." ”

Shan Cha blamed himself very much: "Please condemn the adult, this matter was caused by the lower officials, the three of them were already turtles in the urn, but they were let go because of the suspicion and arrogance of the lower officials." ”

Liao Weizhang is not a reasonable person, not to mention that just now he also firmly believed that he was not suspicious of the tiger, no one was right or wrong in this matter, only blamed them for not understanding the young man and underestimating him.

"That's it, it's not your fault--- either. As soon as he gave the order, all the guards breathed a sigh of relief, and some put their weapons on the ground, rubbing their hands together incessantly, and stomping their feet while puffing. It looks so cold.

Liao Weizhang turned the horse's head, beat the horse and took the lead with a loud shout. This time he really lost his wife and soldiers, counting that he also lost at least twenty or thirty people, but he didn't even catch three people, it was impossible to say that he didn't have a fire, but he had no choice, he could only eat this loss.

Here Liao Weizhang led people back in a huff, just entered the city, but saw a team of prisoner cars heading in the direction of the Criminal Department, he fixed his eyes and saw that it was Uncle Shangshu Wu of the Criminal Department who was riding a horse at the front.

There were at least twenty or thirty people in the prisoner car behind, and Liao Weizhang drove a horse to catch up.

"Lord Shangshu. He saluted on horseback, looked behind him, and asked, "Where did so many prisoners come from?"

Uncle Wu couldn't hide the pride on his face, and said with a smile: "These are the rebels of the righteous march, and today the old man killed one of their old nests in the west of the city in Beijing. ”

"Old nest?" Liao Weizhang said in surprise: "All the nests have been wiped out?"

Uncle Wu regretted slightly: "Some died, some escaped, and captured these twenty-three people alive." By the way, I smashed the restaurant that was hidden from people. ”

"Restaurant?" Liao Weizhang was surprised again: "They actually opened a restaurant in Beijing? These traitors are probably already rooted in Beijing." ”

Uncle Wu snorted: "No, the old man believes that this is just one of them, there must be more rebel gathering points, but I haven't gotten the news yet, so I can only take my time, the righteous march has been a hidden danger in the imperial court for many years, and it is not so easy to get rid of for a while." ”

Liao Weizhang wanted to ask him where he got the news, since he took office, he had never stopped tracking the whereabouts of the Righteous Marching Army, except for the last time Yao Yan was rescued by the Righteous Marching Army, he knew a little trace. But the news that the young master of the righteous march army left the city today was not found by him, but was told by someone.

Where did Uncle Wu get the news? He was puzzled in his heart and wanted to ask, but he also knew that it was not easy to ask, so he said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Lord Shangshu, this meritorious service will definitely be rewarded by the emperor." ”

Uncle Wu laughed: "Whether to reward or not is secondary, the old man, as an official of the imperial court, naturally works for the emperor to solve his worries." Having said that, the smugness and joy in that tone could also be heard as soon as I heard it.

Liao Weizhang felt very uncomfortable in his heart, obviously he was about to catch the young master of the righteous march, and catching the young master was much more than 20 little minions. But he missed it like that, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he always felt that there was a fire in his heart that had nowhere to go.

"Lord Shangshu still has important matters, so the next official won't delay your time. Liao Weizhang was still smiling.

Uncle Wu arrested this group of people, and naturally wanted to enter the palace to report to the emperor, he arched his hand, and the two parted.

Until the team of the prisoner car was all gone, Liao Weizhang looked at his people again, their cold lips were purple, and their hands were almost unable to hold weapons, they were also chasing, why didn't he get any benefits?

"Don't you think it's strange, my lord?" said Shan Cha suddenly.

Liao Weizhang also felt a little weird in his heart, and when he heard him say this, he hurriedly asked, "What does the master book think is wrong?"

Shan Cha said with a smile: "Today we led the troops to arrest the young master of the righteous march, and the criminal department also led the troops to exterminate the nest of the righteous march, it is too much of a coincidence, not to mention the nest of the righteous march, we have not found it for several months, and the criminal department has not worked this matter, where is the news?"

Liao Weizhang bowed slightly, frowned, and said: "I'm also curious about this, it's just that it's not good to ask, in the end, someone else caught someone and made a meritorious service, and I asked again, as if I wanted to get a piece of the pie." ”

Shan Cha smiled again, but there was some disdain in his eyes: "Do you really think that he has made meritorious contributions, have you forgotten who gave us the whereabouts of the young master of the righteous march?"

Liao Weizhang was slightly stunned, and after a moment of disbelief, he said in disbelief: "The main book says that the Criminal Department is also the news obtained by Qiu Ji?"

That's right, the reason why Liao Weizhang knew the whereabouts of the young master of the righteous march army was the news that Qiu Ji gave him.

He was also suspicious at the beginning, firstly, Qiu Ji was just a student, and it stands to reason that he would not participate in these political matters, let alone pay attention to the righteous march, at least at this time, he did not have to pay attention.

It's just that since he got the news, how could he be arrogant and think that this was just a casual remark from the young man, he thought that Qiu Ji's news was from Shoufu, so he believed it.

Not only that, but he was also completely prepared, not only setting up a heavy ambush at the north gate, but also setting up soldiers to guard the other three gates, and any carriage or horse team traveling must be checked.

It's just that I didn't expect it, the young master of the righteous march is not an ordinary junior, if it weren't for his own miscalculation, he would have been arrested by now. Every time he thought about it, he regretted wanting to slap himself in the mouth.

"That's it. "He can only blame himself for this. If the Criminal Department also got the news from Qiu Ji, compared to it, his meat is fresher and fatter, but he doesn't have the ability, so he can't swallow it in one bite, but chokes on himself.

Shan Cha had some doubts in his heart, was Qiu Ji really giving random news? He always felt that there was something in this that Qiu Ji did not say explicitly.

He hesitated for a moment, but out of nature, he still said: "My lord, I can make more friends with the young master of the Qiu family in the future, and try to do what he likes." And he attaches great importance to Yao Shi, and it will be more convenient for adults to be with Yao Shi in the future. ”
