"Where did the people go?" asked Zhang Zhaohua.

"In, there!" Han Dong's eyes were sharp, pointing to the unkempt and unkempt person who came out of the crowd in an instant: "He can be squeezed enough! If he is not squeezed to death, it will be fate!"

The man came out of the crowd and seemed to be out of breath, but he didn't signal the people on the city wall to pull him up, but walked towards the official road.

"He is the one who reported to the rebel army!" Yang Shiqi said: "Go, catch him!"

This person walked very fast, and at first glance he was a professional soldier, and his alertness was also very high, but when he looked back and saw Zhang Zhaohua and Han Dong, he didn't care. But Zhang Zhaohua still didn't dare to stab him, but when she saw that there seemed to be three or five homeless people with their eyes rolling around on the official road, she suddenly shouted: "You thief, you robbed me of the golden hairpin, return it to me quickly, that's what my mother left me!"

At this time, although Shandong was in turmoil, it was not a time of great famine, food was precious, but gold and silver still retained value, and even thieves took advantage of the situation to rob large households, and did not remove much grain, but took their gold and silver treasures. Hearing Zhang Zhaohua's words, sure enough, the eyes of these homeless people lit up, and they stared at the man pointed out by Zhang Zhaohua with malicious intentions, as if they were weighing.

"Alas," shouted the homeless people at the head, "what are you running, you have stolen other people's hairpins, where are you going?"

The man was stunned, and he didn't know why the woman behind him would frame him so much, but the homeless person in front of him was not easy to deal with. Seeing these homeless people surrounding, he pulled out the short knife from his sleeve and preemptively plunged it directly into the left side of the ribs of the nearest homeless person, knocking down one of them at once.

The other homeless people also seemed to be fierce and abnormal people, and when they saw that they had fallen down, they did not panic, but were aroused by the blood, and babbled towards the man, even though the man had a knife in his hand, and even had a sharp body, but he was defeated by the wolves, and after slashing the two of them, he was also hit in the stomach fiercely, and blood spurted out of his mouth.

Seeing this person draw a knife, Zhang Zhaohua was extremely glad that he didn't rush up, her dagger was really no match for other people's short knives, and he was still a person who practiced martial arts - when a few people died and were injured, Yang Shiqi stepped forward and separated the two people who hugged each other and grabbed each other's throats.

They made up for the outcast who had not yet breathed, and then dragged the man who reported the news out of the official road, and in the woods a hundred meters away from the official road, they searched for a letter from the man.

"It said that Liu Sheng is about to send troops to Anqiu," Yang Shiqi said: "There are 30,000 troops, and there are commanders Chen An and Wang Jing to assist...... It seems that there are indeed people in Jinan City who are collaborating with the enemy. This detailed battle plan must have been chosen by the commander of the embassy in the first place, but I don't know if the political envoy and the inspection envoy have also been launched. ”

"I think it's all in the water. Zhang Zhaohua said coldly: "If Liu Sheng wins a hundred battles and pacifies Shandong in one fell swoop, then the emperor will blame the Shandong officials for arson; if Liu Sheng is defeated, the emperor will pay attention to the chaos in Shandong this time, and even Liu Sheng is defeated, how can the local officials, he will not blame the three divisions." ”

The situation in Shandong is erosive, and it is because of this group of collaborating officials that the enemy is present. Zhang Zhaohua suddenly remembered the corruption of the Cao County River Control Project, and she gradually had an idea in her heart: "It is very likely that the emperor will not punish the three divisions of Shandong, right?"

"Possibly. Yang Shiqi thought for a while: "Speaking of which, the Shandong people's uprising was also provoked by the emperor. Shandong officials also adhered to his intentions, if he killed them, the officials in Shandong in the future would not be willing to do their best. ”

"So these people, after collaborating with the enemy, can they still escape the crime in a grand manner?" Zhang Zhaohua said: "Is there such a good thing in the world?"

Yang Shiqi gradually became a little incredulous: "Are you going to-"

"I heard that the leader of this rebel army is called Wang Zhu'er," Zhang Zhaohua said: "He didn't come to the Qingzhou Conference, he doesn't recognize you and me." ”

"No," Yang Shiqi said categorically: "You can't stay in Shandong anymore, you have to return to Beijing as soon as possible!"

"What can I do after I go back," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Even if you know that Chu Yan, Zhang Hai, and Liu Ben are collaborating with the enemy, the crown prince can't take them, and everything will wait until the emperor decides, and the whole territory of Shandong will have already fallen!"

As she spoke, she stared at the letter and said, "I think this letter is very important...... There won't be just one person delivering the letter...... If we replace the false letter, and Wang Zhu'er has other messengers from there, we will definitely be exposed...... What should I do?"

She frowned and didn't know what to do, but suddenly her eyes froze, because she seemed to see a familiar shadow.

This half-sized shadow scurried around in the crowd like a leather monkey, and the more Zhang Zhaohua looked at it, the more he felt like a big tiger - the little boy she rescued in Kaifeng.

"Big Tiger," Zhang Zhaohua shouted several times, "Big Tiger—"

The boy really heard it, and turned his head, and when he saw that it was her, he immediately ran over with surprise and joy: "Madam, you are here too!"

He was the godgrandson recognized by the nursing mother Yang, but he didn't expect that within a few days, Yang and Jiang Tingqi asked the Buddha mother to arrest him. After that, the family was broken by the homeless, but this guy is mixed with society, and it is easy to save his life in troubled times, and even he pulled a group of half-grown children who are also fleeing and homeless, and unity is always strong, so they have avoided many dangers.

"How many of you are there?" Zhang Zhaohua was overjoyed.

"Thirty-one," replied the big tiger truthfully, "they are all about the same age as me." ”

Zhang Zhaohua explained one thing to him: "If you hang a rope from the top of this city wall, the person who comes down, you help me stop him, don't let him get out of the official road." ”

Then she asked Handong to go back to Beijing to report the news, and she and Yang Shiqi changed their clothes and went to Texas. The rebels who had attacked the city of Jinan a day earlier had gone in that direction.
