Chapter 694: The Stolen Goods Are Recovered
Guanzhong is fertile, the war horses are galloping, the smoke and dust are filled, and the distance of ten miles is instantaneous. Although Cheng San can ride a horse, he can barely keep up, and he feels the pain of the fire burning on the inner thigh between his crotch, and he is actually worn out by the saddle. If it was a distance of ten miles in the past, it would not be so blurry in flesh and blood, but it was only because he was frightened by Yang Xingben outside Chang'an City that he was incontinent, and he was rubbed so badly because of urine.
Yang Xingben saw Cheng San's strange appearance and knew that he had worn out the flesh on his thighs, which is very common for beginners to ride horses, and he himself has had this embarrassing situation. It stands to reason that a small official like Cheng San would not be so unbearable, so he was even more contemptuous.
"Lou Tingyi has arrived, please go in first to find out the situation!"
Cheng San was taken aback.
"This ...... It's full of guys who kill people without blinking, and Zhonglang will spare the villain......"
Cheng Sanke knew very well that Yang Xingben asked him to go to the post station to find out the situation first, and he didn't care about the life of a small official at all, he didn't care whether he was dead or alive, but he had to care about his own life, so he begged for mercy directly.
Yang Xingben was laughed angrily.
"If you are as timid as a mouse, how can you be an official of the Tang Dynasty? If you are more cowardly, don't blame the ruthlessness of military law!"
One sentence choked Cheng San back, and Cheng San wanted to quibble a few words, but when he saw the cold light of killing intent shot out of Yang Xingben's eyes, he was immediately speechless.
"Villain, villain is not cowardly, but the villain has been gone for so long, I am afraid that when he appears, he will make the thieves inside suspicious!"
Yang Xingben sneered, and suddenly waved his hand, and the five hundred cavalry behind him immediately rode crossbows high, until their arms swung off, and five hundred crossbow arrows roared out and smashed straight into Lou Tingyi.
"The Shenwu army suppresses the bandits, the mountain bandits inside listen, they can be captured or they can leave a life, if they resist stubbornly, there is only one way to die!"
As soon as these words came out, the five hundred cavalry also shouted in unison, and immediately there was a tsunami.
After a long while, a trembling figure appeared on Lou Tingyi's watchtower.
Although Cheng San was timid, his eyes were very good, and he saw at a glance that the person on the watchtower was his brother-in-law who had a missing head.
At the same time, his wife and brother also recognized Cheng San, and cried and shouted:
"Brother-in-law, you're back, what happened? The people inside are going to kill me, and the officers and soldiers who are suppressing bandits are coming outside...... Ah......h
With a miserable scream, the shouts of his wife and brother stopped, and his body also fell short, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
Seeing this, Cheng San, who was a hundred steps away, couldn't help but shrink his neck, and was even more glad that he had slipped away in time, otherwise he could only end up with his wife and brother.
"General Yang Lang, that, that's the little ** brother, the thief killed my wife and brother, and avenged my wife and brother!"
Yang Xing didn't even look at Cheng San, and shouted again:
"Listen to the thieves inside, kill one more person, and ask for one person to die, as long as you lay down your weapons and don't resist stubbornly, maybe you still have a chance to live!"
After the five hundred cavalry also shouted three times, a voice sounded in Lou Tingyi:
"Don't, don't get me wrong, we are forbidden officials and eunuchs to go out on business, not mountain bandits!"
Yang Xingben laughed, but the laughter was so cold that it could almost condense into ice.
"How naïve is it that a thief dares to pretend to be a palace official in the prison?
Cheng San found that although Yang Xingben had five hundred cavalry, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack, but was chatting all the time, and he didn't understand what these people were afraid of.
However, in this case, how can he speak, he can only do it in a hurry without a curse!
Rumble!
Suddenly, with a loud noise, Cheng San suddenly felt that the ground shook, his legs were already weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and when he raised his head, he found that a cloud of smoke rose behind Lou Tingyi, like a huge mushroom.
"My good mother, it's not Lei Gongdian who went down to earth!"
As soon as the words came out, he reflected again, this must be the magic weapon of the Shenwu Army, firearms!
In the blink of an eye, the main gate of Lou Tingyi was opened, and it was the Shenwu Army soldiers who came out inside. One of them waved his flag outside.
Seeing this, Yang Xingben snorted.
"Solved, go in and see!"
Cheng San was like a dream, how could he subdue these thieves who intended to rebel with a loud bang? It was really incredible. How did he know that those palace people in Lou Tingyi were no different from insects and ants in front of the Shenwu Army, and it was easy to catch them.
What Yang Xing originally cared about was evidence in the hands of the palace people who could point to his rebellion, and if it was delayed for a long time, those people might destroy the evidence in despair. Therefore, he attracted attention from the front, and in fact, he sent a small team of men and horses from behind Lou Tingyi to launch a surprise attack with thunderbolts, and the battle was quickly resolved.
Lou Tingyi was full of eunuchs with five flowers, and Cheng San counted the number of people according to Yang Xingben's instructions, a total of thirty-seven people, which was the same as in the register.
"General Yang Lang, the inventory has been counted, one is not more, one is not less. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he patted his head and shouted:
"No, there is one less, when the villain left, there was a eunuch who rushed in later, and yet, it hasn't been registered......"
Then he searched in the crowd again, but he didn't find it, and secretly said that this person might have escaped. Although this raid was a complete victory, Cheng San was a little uneasy and haunting in his heart.
"General Yu Zhonglang, the evidence has been counted, and a total of twenty-five letters have not been sent......"
Yang Xingben didn't care how many people were caught, how many people ran away, how many people died, what he cared about was whether he could catch the evidence, and after learning that most of the evidence was intact, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Who among you is the leader of the thieves?"
There was no answer to this question, for everyone was gagged with a mass of rags, so he went up to one of the fat eunuchs and pulled out the rags from his mouth.
"Come!"
"Yes, it's Young Eunuch Ma Yuan!"
Ma Yuan?
Yang Xingben's eyelids jumped, it was actually him, this person was one of Li Fuguo's four righteous sons, and he was also his most powerful helper, I didn't want to catch him! Unfortunately, it was not Li Fuguo himself.
In fact, he also expected that it was impossible for Li Fuguo to be so hands-on.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we are all internal supervisors who come out on business trips, no, don't believe it, you can verify the ......"
Speaking of verifying his identity, the fat eunuch stammered, after all, this is a self-exposure and a very embarrassing thing, but in order to save his life, this is the only way!
Yang Xingben did a full set of plays, and ordered people to come forward to inspect, and tested them one by one in the crotches of those people, but they were all empty.
The fat eunuch pointed to the short, thin man who was on the ground with great difficulty.
"Then, that's our young eunuch!"
In fact, no one needs to point it out, Yang Xingben also recognized the young eunuch Ma Yuan, although this person specially put on a cloth coat and smeared a lot of dust on his face, it was still difficult to hide his appearance and figure.
Yang Xingben is not frequent in and out of the palace, but he is also very attentive to important people, so he is not a stranger.
"Sure enough, it's Young Eunuch Ma!"
Yang Xing ordered Ma Yuan to loosen the tie, and personally helped him up, asking:
"Yang heard that Young Eunuch Ma was not out of the city, how did he get to Lou Tingyi in the countryside again?"
Ma Yuan may be a thief, explaining:
"I have been ordered by the inner prison and have secret affairs to handle, so it is not appropriate to say ......"
Yang Xingben smiled, showed a clear expression, and stopped asking.
"General Yu Zhonglang, I just reviewed the letter, which involves the abolition of the crown prince, I'm afraid it's not a misunderstanding!"
As soon as these words came out, Ma Yuan's face immediately changed
"Wronged, wronged......"
Yang Xingben's eyes were cold, stopped Ma Yuan, and said coldly:
"Whether it is true or false is not Yang Mou's final say, it depends on the evidence, since the matter involves a premeditated abolition of the crown prince, it is not a matter that Yang can decide without authorization, this matter will be reported to Doctor Qin, and then with the Son of Heaven!"
When he heard that there would be a son of heaven and a smell, Ma Yuan's expression was not panicked.
"Let's go, go back to the city!"
Five hundred cavalry galloped away, and it was not until the dust dissipated that the stunned Cheng San reacted.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law......"
Stayed in Lou Tingyi, which was almost half regretted by the Shenwu Army, Cheng San was extremely frightened, but immediately remembered his wife and brother who were uncertain about life and death, and climbed to the watchtower.
……
Chang'an City, Shenwu Army Marshal Hall. Qin Jin's face sank like water, he had just learned the news that the eunuchs had gathered to discuss the abolition of the crown prince, this matter was by no means a trivial matter, he did not want to get involved in these rights and wrongs, but his subordinates did not think so, thinking that only by taking the initiative to insert a foot in it, it was possible to gain the initiative.
Although Qin Jin didn't want to cause trouble too early, since the trouble was lifted, he would not be afraid.
"Erlang, what do you think of today's events!"
Yang Xingben was the second line at home, so Qin Jin Pingsu only called him Erlang. Yang Xingben replied in a deep voice:
"Today, I caught the young eunuch Ma Yuan, who is Li Fuguo's son of Li Fuguo, and together they searched for documents that premeditated the abolition of the crown prince, which was a great opportunity to overthrow Li Fuguo. This person is narrow-minded, and he has a whim, if he doesn't get rid of it as soon as possible, sooner or later he will become a big disaster for my Shenwu army!"
The people present, in addition to Yang Xingben, also Qing Xuzi, Huangfu Ke, and Guo Ziyi have military affairs, but they did not attend.
Except for Yang Xingben's active statement that he wanted to get rid of Li Fuguo as soon as possible, the rest were silent, and seemed to disagree with Li Fuguo's premature face.
Qin Jin's gaze wandered around Huangfu Ke's face, and finally asked:
"What does the old general of Huangfu think?"
Huangfu Ke pondered for a while and said:
"The most tricky thing now is how to deal with this evidence, if you are not careful, you may put the Shenwu Army in a disadvantageous situation of making enemies in many ways! The old man has already said that Chang'an City is a place of right and wrong, and it is not as happy as the place east of the river!"
This is a seemingly casual complaint, but it actually shows his thoughts about leaving Chang'an.
Qin Jin knew that now was not the time for him to leave Chang'an, this time was different from the past, even if he wanted to lead the troops out, he had to eliminate the unstable factors in the Qing Dynasty situation and leave a stable rear, he didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi!
