"Someone!" Jin Yiwei was very alert when he slept, and when he heard a noise outside, he immediately opened his eyes.

Lu Ji was silent, and pressed his subordinates who wanted to get up to check, "Don't make a sound!"

Several people didn't dare to sleep, listening to the movement outside with their eyes open, and their hands also held the embroidered spring knife.

There was not much noise outside, but the countryside was silent, and the slightest sound would be infinitely amplified at night, fluttering clusters, the sound of mud sliding off the wall, and the muffled sound of landing.

A lieutenant couldn't lie down, he took a knife, walked lightly to the door of the hall, looked out through the crack in the door, the winter night was surprisingly cold, the thief who fell into the courtyard was uncomfortably cold, and couldn't help but put his hand to his mouth and sighed.

The captain in the house sneered silently, and he was afraid of his own warmth and coldness when he did bad things, so it can be seen that this little thief is not difficult to dismiss.

He continued to watch coldly, but found that the thief did not mean to enter the house, he first listened to the movement with his ears sideways, and after hearing the snoring of Gu Qian and Gu Xiaojiu in the east house one after another, the thief seemed to be relieved, and dragged a few wooden planks over and crossed the middle of the door.

What is this for? Seal the door? The captain had a bad instinct, the peasant house did not have a back window, and if the thieves sealed the doors and windows, they would be in bad luck.

Thinking of this, the lieutenant didn't dare to brake with silence anymore, he pulled the deadbolt of the door, drew his knife and slashed at the thief who was ramming the plank.

"Ah!" the thief cried out, and the blood on his shoulder immediately wet his sleeve.

There was a plop, and before the thief by the door could be solved, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling from the wall, followed by a neighing of horses.

"Yang Datou, chase quickly!" Lu Ji turned over and got up, kicked the captain who was sleeping inside out of the window, the captain didn't dare to delay, ran two steps over the courtyard wall, and galloped away from the horses in the adjacent courtyard.

"Hey, wake up!" Lu Ji took the lamp, walked to the east room and saw Gu Qian's master and servant sleeping soundly with the quilt, he was really angry, "I was almost killed, do you want to see Lord Yama in your sleep?"

"Who lifted Lao Tzu's quilt? Frozen to death!" Whoever slept soundly and was lifted off the quilt would have to blow up his hair, Gu Qian looked angry, and when he saw Lu Ji standing by the kang with a cold face, his anger froze on his face, "Senior brother, what are you doing?"

Lu Ji raised his chin and motioned for him to go out and see.

Holding the lamp in the middle of the night, there must be a situation, Gu Qian wiped his face, and began to dress resignedly, because he was living in a farmer's house, so he just took off the cotton robe outside, and after dressing neatly at the moment, he hurriedly went to the hall.

In the middle of the hall, there was a man kneeling with half of his body stained red with blood, Gu Qian was stunned, and said in his heart, who is this person, is it a robber who wants to kill them?

"Who is kneeling?" Lu Ji asked in a deep voice as he sat on a stool.

The man did not speak, only lowered his head, and his injured arm trembled with pain.

As soon as Lu Ji raised his toes, he picked up the man's face, this person was about thirty years old, with two mustaches on his lips, and he looked a little obscene.

"Who is kneeling?" Lu Ji's voice was a little lower, and several people in the room didn't dare to say anything, only feeling the pressure rushing to their faces.

"I, I...... The small one is, it's ......" The mustache glanced at Lu Ji and stammered, "The small one is the Zhuang household in the town next door, and his nickname is Ma San." ”

"Ma San?" Lu Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did you come here to commit murder, what do you want to do with a wooden plank to seal the door?"

"Nothing to do. ”

"Huh?"

"Someone gave me ten taels of silver to seal the doors and windows. ”

"What do you do after it's sealed?"

"I don't know. ”

"I don't know?" Lu Ji sneered, "I don't want that arm either, do you?"

Ma San was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "If you want it!" The injured arm was cut to the bone, and the pain was so painful that he almost fainted.

"Then let's get it from the truth. ”

"Okay, I say, I say. Ma San saw that Lu Ji and the others were hard stubble, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he told everything he knew.

"Are you saying that you came here to be hired by someone, and it's two people?" Lu Ji frowned and continued, "But there was obviously only one person who just escaped. ”

"There was another person waiting for news at my house. ”

"There is another ......" Lu Ji's brows furrowed, if this Ma San was really hired, then there would be no useful news from his mouth, and now he only hoped that the captain who chased him out could keep an eye on the fleeing thief, otherwise this matter would be difficult to do.

"Senior brother, should we send Ma San back?" Gu Qian also realized that something had gone wrong, and now he had run away, if Ma San didn't go back at the appointed time, the people who were waiting for the news would definitely run away suspiciously, and now there was not much time left for them, so it was better to take the opportunity to meet the thief.

"You just said that the people waiting outside after the door was sealed were going to set fire?"

"Yes. Ma San hung his head weakly.

"Did the man carry a fire-setting tool?"

"Yes, he seemed to have a bow on his back, but it was shorter than usual, and he had a quiver with him, and I smelled the smell of fire oil in it. ”

"Didn't the man say where he came from?"

"I didn't say it, but one of them spoke with the same accent. ”

Lu Ji from Datong couldn't believe it, they started from Datong all the way, how could they be driven ahead of them, and they were also watched? Lu Ji has been in Jinyi Wei for so many years, it is impossible not to have a little success, although he knows that the matter is out of his control, but he still did not panic, but said to Gu Qian, "Shen Zhi is right, let's set off." ”

At least one has to be grabbed first.

Fearing that the thieves hiding in the neighboring town would run away, several people worked together to set a fire outside the village, listening to the panicked cries of the villagers shouting "go to the water", Gu Qian ordered Gu Xiaojiu to throw a silver ingot at the farmer's house, and then got on the horse and left in a hurry.

The group pressed Ma San to the neighboring town, their whereabouts were very careful, Gu Qian and the others stayed outside the village, and Lu Ji personally followed Ma San to arrest people.

"Senior brother, be careful. ”

"Hmm. Lu Ji glanced at him, and his face went as usual.

In the end, it was only a quarter of an hour's work for Jinyi Wei Qianhu, Gu Qian saw a firework in the sky above the courtyard of Ma Sanjia, knowing that this was a signal that Lu Ji had succeeded, Gu Qian clamped the horse's belly and walked in the direction of Ma Sanjia.

When the group arrived at Ma San's house, they saw that the courtyard door was wide open, and Ma San dragged his hastily bandaged arm and greeted him with a bitter face.

"How many masters are here? ”

Gu Qian glanced at him and followed in silently.

The courtyard of Ma San's house is not big, and several adobe houses are also small and dark, Gu Qian entered the door shortly, and just saw Lu Ji pointing at a person with a knife.

"Senior brother?" Gu Qian stopped and was startled.

Lu Ji took back the embroidered spring knife, looked at the man coldly and said, "Do you think I won't be able to cure you if you don't speak?" It's just a lackey under the vassal king, when I can't see your identity?"

"You don't have to lie to me, I'm not from the Acting Palace!" the man replied coldly.

"Acting Wangfu?" Lu Ji raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "When did I say that you are from the Acting Wangfu?"

"In Shanxi, who else can be bigger than the acting king?"

"So, you want to use the agitation method and let me take you to confront the acting king?" Lu Ji smiled, his smile was quite sarcastic, "Do you have that qualification?"

"Hmph!" the man turned his head, a little bit of a way to die rather than give in.

"Senior brother?" Seeing that Lu Ji didn't torture this person, Gu Qian was a little puzzled, although the torture picture was very cruel, but that was the most effective way, wasn't it?

"It's okay," Lu Ji glanced at him, and said lightly, "It's useless for him to lead me down the wrong path, I already know who he is." ”

The man was tall and dismissive of Lu Ji's statement.

"You are from the Xiangyuan Palace. ”

These words were like thunder, and they shook the people in the room at once, Gu Qian opened his mouth wide in surprise, but he still didn't forget to observe the thief's reaction, the thief's head was still tilted, but Gu Qian clearly saw that his head shook slightly, and his Adam's apple squirmed, looking like he was swallowing saliva.

Gu Qian knew that he was nervous.

"What, am I not right?"

"Hmph. The man still snorted coldly, but Gu Qian found that this time he was not as straightforward as the last time.

"Is he really from the Xiangyuan Palace?Senior Brother, how did you find out?" Gu Qian asked in surprise.

"I naturally have my own methods," Lu Ji would not explain to him at this time, he stared coldly at the thief who was obviously weak-hearted, and said slowly, "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, Ben Qianhu naturally has a way to find out, and it will be up to your master to protect you or not." ”

As he spoke, he said to his lieutenant, "Search." ”

The captain is a veteran, he held down the man who wanted to escape from the road, clasped his hands, groped on him, all the men present, and the captain did not show mercy to his subordinates, and in a moment he searched for a secret letter on the man's body.

"Didn't you have time to burn it?" Gu Qian said in surprise.

Do you think this is a script? Lu Ji didn't even bother to look at him, so he directly took the letter and read it by the light of the oil lamp.

"What is written in the letter, is there any disguise?" Gu Qian leaned over and said with great interest.

Facing this cheap junior brother whose brain had convulsions from time to time, Lu Ji was speechless, and simply handed him the letter.

"What is this?" Gu Qian was dumbfounded when he saw the words on the paper, where is this secret letter, it is simply a bunch of ghost drawings!

"Can't understand?"

"Hmm. "Master Gu has always been humble and studious.

"This is Tatar. ”

"What did you say?"

"I won't tell you. ”

Gu Qian was dumbfounded, when did Lu Qianhu also learn to shabu people?" "Senior brother, don't bring this!"

"And what do you want?"

"We're working together, so you have to at least inform me about the case, right?"

The facts of the case are that this note was written to Zhu Chonghui of the Xiangyuan Palace, instructing him to send people who knew how to use military crossbows to the border gates. ”

"Is he really from the Xiangyuan Palace?" Gu Qian was dumbfounded and looked at Lu Jidao with admiration, "How did Senior Brother find out?"

Because he spoke with a Xiangyuan accent. ”

"Isn't he a Datong?"

"Datong is a good word, but there are a few words and intonation that are unique to Xiangyuan, and you can hear it if you listen to it more. ”

Gu Qian once again felt that he had become a frog at the bottom of the well, but he didn't expect that the Jinyi guards had a high force value, and they even had such strong language skills!

Now there are three royal relatives who are included in the object of suspicion, Zhu Chongyao, the general of Fengguo, Zhu Chongyao, the acting king, and Zhu Chonghui of the Xiangyuan Palace.
