Chapter 41 Solicitation
Wu Shaoying's plan is actually not complicated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On that day, when he heard that Jinhuan had escaped at Qin's house, he sent someone to follow the road into the city. Jinhuan is the servant girl that He bought in Datong, and it is the first time she has come back to Mizhi County, except for He Ziyu's residence in the county, she has nowhere else to go. Besides, she is the eldest girl of the He clan on weekdays, and she can be regarded as pampered, and she doesn't have any luggage on her, so where can she dare to walk a long way? Being able to walk more than ten miles into the city by herself is already the limit, and He Ziyu's temporary residence is the only place she can go.
Wu Shaoying's men tracked Jinhuan until they reached He Ziyu's rented house in the county seat, and at first they didn't know that He Ziyu had returned to Mizhi, until they found many traces of strangers outside He Ziyu's house.
When He Ziyu returned to Mizhi, he didn't know that his sister's crimes in the Qin family had been exposed and she had been placed under house arrest, so he didn't plan to hide his whereabouts. But he was accompanied by the officers and soldiers of the two small banners, but the latter did not want to reveal his identity outside the county, so a group of people dressed in civilian clothes sneaked into the door. If it weren't for the fact that the house was too small, the horses they rode couldn't accommodate it for a while, and they had to find another place to settle them, and Wu Shaoying's people wouldn't have found them so easily.
After Wu Shaoying got the news, he didn't expect that it was twenty officers and soldiers, and he thought it was a hooligan ruffian from where He Ziyu came from. At that time, he thought that Jinhuan would not be caught, but early the next morning, he found her swaggering on the street near Guan's house, clearly to let him find out. He didn't know what kind of medicine He Ziyu was selling in the gourd, but he only knew that since He Ziyu already knew that his sister was trapped, he would definitely not sit idly by, so he simply planned and asked the servant to take the gold ring and escort it back to the Qin family. Sure enough, not long after, news came that the He family proposed to go to the temple to make amends to Qin Ping and Guan and his wife.
Wu Shaoying guessed that He Ziyu must be planning to take his group of subordinates and take his sister away while He was out. Not only was he not angry, but he was pleasantly surprised, this was a good opportunity for the He family brothers and sisters to escape, and it was not a good opportunity for him to take revenge on the He family? If the He family had been in the Qin family, since Mr. Qin had already decided not to hurt her life and not send her to the official, he would definitely not be able to really take revenge on this enemy. Since He is looking for his own death, how can he miss a great opportunity?
Wu Shaoying pushed the boat down the river, sent three guards to follow the Qin family to send the He family to the temple to pray for blessings, and sent a few other archery masters to ambush in the woods in advance. Although he was not a native of Mizhi County, he grew up here and knew the surrounding terrain well, and knew that from the Qin family's mansion to the temple, there was a wide dirt road all the way, and only there was a dense forest at the bend and uphill that could be used as an ambush. And the road conditions in that place doomed the carriage to go not fast when passing by, and even ordinary people riding horses had to reduce their speed accordingly. Whether it is He Ziyu or his Wu Shaoying's people, if they want to start, they can only be there.
He Ziyu set off from the city gate with more than ten horsemen and horses early that morning, and Wu Shaoying secretly followed behind with his men, and when he saw that they were indeed waiting behind the slope, he quietly detoured and sneaked into the forest, waiting for the arrival of the Qin family's convoy. This is called "praying mantis catches cicadas, yellow finches behind".
When He Ziyu led the crowd to block the way of the Qin family, and before he could speak, Wu Shaoying ordered someone to shoot the arrow first, and the three guards who accompanied the Qin family immediately called everyone to be careful of the horse thief and ordered everyone to dodge, then the Qin family would regard He Ziyu and the archers in the forest as a group of people, and the latter's identity as a "horse thief" with the "help" of the arrow, it was confirmed. Anyway, He Ziyu is not a good person, and he does countless evils on weekdays, Wu Shaoying is not ashamed to frame them.
Wu Shaoying's target is only one of the He family, and perhaps this accomplice of the Qin Taisheng family, the others are either servants of the Qin family or tenants of the Qin family, Wu Shaoying respects Mr. Qin, and he doesn't dare to hurt anyone. Therefore, the people he brought with him were all archery masters, and the arrows he shot deliberately avoided everyone in the Qin family. In the chaos of the time, it was not easy to do that. The only shortcoming is that He has not been out of the carriage. Although the nephew of the old nursing home calculated the horse pulling the cart and let the carriage crash into He Ziyu and others, the three brothers, sisters, master and servant were all injured, but it was a pity that he could not shoot He to death on the spot with an arrow.
The effect of those arrows was a little worse than Wu Shaoying initially expected, but it was not bad. They withdrew very quickly, without alarming anyone, and the guards took the Qin family to escort the injured "horse thief" to the county office, and the traces in the woods were also erased. As long as the crime is convicted and the person is sent to Yulin Weiyi, even if the confession is not correct, no one will be held accountable. If it weren't for the identity of those fake horse thieves, who were not hooligans and ruffians but officials and soldiers, Wu Shaoying asked himself that the plan would not have failed.
Now that things had evolved to the point where he didn't even expect it, he was glad that he had cleaned up his hands. Even if Mr. Qin knew the inside story and suspected that he was inseparable from the shooter in the dense forest, it was only a suspicion, and there was no evidence.
Who would have thought that today, this Master Li, who is from the capital and has a mysterious identity, would be able to expose his plan in one word?
Wu Shaoying's mind was chaotic, but he quickly calmed down and said lightly: "Master Li is wise. "There is no denial, but there is no denial of anything.
Master Li smiled slightly: "Sure enough, you are just as the official thought, you are a smart person." This official doesn't know what kind of grudge you have with the Qin and He families, so it has nothing to do with this official. This official came to the northwest to investigate a secret case, and he may need to rely on your help. ”
Wu Shaoying's expression changed: "The case that Master Li said is ...... What to do with those killed and disfigured soldiers?"
Master Li smiled and said, "When you agree to help, the official will explain the case clearly." It's just that I can't say anything about it at the moment. Think about it, but if you agree, you won't be able to see any of your relatives or friends or pass messages to them until the truth of the case is revealed. Of course, this is only temporary, and it will not hurt to wait until the truth is revealed. This official heard that you are still a prisoner and have not yet been conferred an official position? If you can make great contributions to the imperial court this time, your future prospects will naturally be limitless. ”
Wu Shaoying looked at Master Li: "What if the student doesn't agree?"
Master Li just smiled and didn't speak, but Wu Shaoying already understood.
The other party is threatening himself. Although he was confident that he had not left any evidence to incriminate him, that did not mean that he could rest easy. This Master Li from the capital doesn't know what his origin is, but he is obviously in a high position and has offended the other party, what future can he have? He has studied hard for many years, but it is not for this result. That's it, anyway, he originally intended to track down the whereabouts of the He family's brothers and sisters, help Master Li, and also use the power of the government to achieve his own goals, and by the way, make a good fate for the future, why not?
Wu Shaoying made up his mind, so he bowed to Master Li and made a big salute: "The student is shallow, and I will ask the adult for more advice in the future." ”
Master Li smiled and helped him up: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
A cooperation agreement was reached, the two sat down separately, and Zhou Gen personally served tea.
Zhou Gen is a guard, and it may be a palace guard with rank. He personally served tea to Wu Shaoying, Wu Shaoying couldn't help but be a little flattered, and hurriedly got up to take it. Zhou Gen smiled and sat down very kindly under Master Li.
Master Li began to explain to Wu Shaoying what case he was investigating: "More than four months ago, His Royal Highness the King of Qin was attacked outside Yulin City, and the guards suffered heavy casualties, and even His Royal Highness the King of Qin was almost immune. ”
"Wait a minute!" Wu Shaoying almost didn't jump up, "What did you say, my lord?!, His Royal Highness King Qin?!" his face was full of shock. This is the vassal king stationed in Shaanxi Province, why has he never heard such big news?!
Master Li smiled bitterly: "Yulin Weizhong, I'm afraid many people have heard of it, but the imperial court is still blocking the news, so everyone is just talking about it in private." Because the matter is big, ordinary people don't dare to spread half a sentence. You are in Mizhi, one or two hundred miles away from Yulin City, and you are not a member of the army, so naturally you have never heard of it. Because His Royal Highness the King of Qin escaped safely and returned to the capital, he was furious today, so he sent me and others to investigate the truth. In order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, the matter was not announced. ”
Wu Shaoying's intuition was a little wrong: "Who attacked His Royal Highness the King of Qin? What truth does the imperial court want to investigate? Why can't he make a public announcement?" Unless the person who attacked the King of Qin has an unusual identity, otherwise if an ordinary horse thief or enemy army does this kind of thing, Yu Linwei will only make a big announcement, and by the way, he will fight back in a big way, so as to win military merits.
In the 30 years since the border was peaceful, the officers and men of the border army have not even been able to achieve military merits, and everyone is also highly motivated.
Master Li sighed and looked at Zhou Gen, who took over the task of narrating and explained the reason for Wu Shaoying.
His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who was attacked, is the royal brother of the current saint. Thirty years ago, the first emperor was about to go on a big trip, and he had many heirs and concubines, and there was a war for succession. Now he is the prince of the prince, and he was also made the crown prince, but he was attacked by all the brothers, and was tossed very badly, almost losing his life, and after a lot of hardships, he finally got the final victory. The other princes who participated in framing him back then, as losers in seizing the heir, naturally did not end well. But when the new emperor ascended the throne, he still had to show his benevolence and filial piety, and those little princes who had never participated in the succession had become good objects for him to show his generosity.
His Royal Highness King Qin is one of the imperial brothers. The biological mother was low and not favored, and when the first emperor was in power, he was only twelve or thirteen years old, with no power, no power, no wealth. But he has vision and wisdom, and at the end of his downfall, he took the risk to help, and when he turned over the position, he became one of Jinshang's most favored younger brothers. However, King Qin himself is quite low-key, and his conduct is good, and when he left Shaanxi as an adult, he has always kept to himself, and he is also very conscientious about his duties. He tried his best to do whatever he asked him to do, and he could be said to be the most worry-free vassal king.
In April of this year, the King of Qin was summoned to Beijing and was ordered by the emperor to inspect the northern border and bring rewards from the imperial court to the guards along the road. The last one he arrived at was Yulinwei in his domain, but before that, he stayed at the Changlebao outpost. Originally, it was just because the time was late, it was almost dark, Changle Fort was a relatively large guard, and there were many dwellings around, King Qin planned to rest there for the night, and then inspect the other two outposts tomorrow, and then return to Yulin City. However, the behavior of the leader of the defenders of Changle Fort angered the King of Qin, and he refused to even eat, and planned to rush back to Yulin City overnight. King Qin's car was damaged again, and it would take at least half a day to repair it.
In this way, the king of Qin abandoned his troops and his brigade, only took his own personal guards, called a few Changlebao defenders as guides, and rode fast horses to Yulin City, but encountered an attack by unknown armed men on the way.
"King Qin's guide is the defenders of Changle Fort?" Wu Shaoying's heart moved, looking at the stack of portraits on the table.
