The person who looked up was Cui Jiancheng.

Could it be that he was the one who made the yellow finches? Could it be that the people who were escorted by them, dressed in black, and whose heads were 'covered' by them with black cloth bags, could it be—

I suddenly became a little nervous.

My breathing was nervous, but Han Ruoshi on the side saw that the person who looked up was Cui Jiancheng, and her face almost couldn't wait to 'show' a satisfied smile, she nodded lightly below, and Cui Jiancheng also glanced at her, but because Pei Yuanxiu was next to her, she didn't say anything.

He said upstairs, "Childe, we've caught a 'spy'." ”

"Oh......"

Pei Yuanxiu looked at the black-clothed 'masked' people, but his expression was not too relaxed, he only nodded slightly, and said, "It's hard work." ”

"Do things for your son, don't dare to say bitter. ”

I thought he would immediately go down to check and interrogate, but Pei Yuanxiu calmly glanced at the people below, and then ordered: "Lock them all down and lock them up." ”

Cui Jiancheng was stunned for a moment.

Han Ruoshi was also stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Husband, don't you interrogate them now?"

Pei Yuanxiu turned his head to look at her, and then looked into the distance, although Cui Jiancheng has now caught the 'traitor', but outside Cangzhou City in the distance, the war is still raging, and the rest of the people are still attacking the city.

"I'll talk about it later," he said. ”

Han Ruoshi's face showed a little frightened look, she was obviously sure who the person who was arrested by Cui Jiancheng was, and this place was the Song family, if after being imprisoned, those people colluded, or the people of the Song family jumped over the wall in a hurry, then they would have lost their efforts. So she said: "Husband, the stakes are very high, these people are all 'traitors' who sabotage our plans, so if we are imprisoned like this, I am afraid that people will not be convinced." ”

As soon as her words fell, Cui Jiancheng immediately said below: "Yes, son, we followed all the way and worked hard to catch these 'spies'." If I go on like this, in case some people—" He said, his eyes looked at Mrs. Zhang, who was standing behind me, and he sneered, and then said, "If some people deliberately cover up, then our efforts tonight will be in vain." ”

Pei Yuanxiu's eyelashes drooped, and his gaze was faint: "You mean, I will protect them?"

Cui Jiancheng immediately lowered his head: "Don't dare to go down!"

“……”

"I am just thinking about the great cause of the childe, as the saying goes, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in the ant'hill', such a person cannot be tolerated!

“……”

"One more day and one more danger. ”

Pei Yuanxiu frowned slightly and didn't speak, while Han Ruoshi stepped forward, gently climbed on Pei Yuanxiu's shoulders with both hands, and said softly: "Yes, Yuanxiu, Cui Gongzi is right, for the sake of your great cause, you can't leave such a person by your side." There are many dreams at night, so it is better to solve them in one go and get rid of future troubles forever. ”

Pei Yuanxiu turned his head to look at her, was silent for a long time, and then said, "Okay." ”

After speaking, he said to the bottom: "Go to the front." ”

Han Ruoshi's face immediately showed a happy smile, and Cui Jiancheng below was also ecstatic, and immediately beckoned people to the hall in front. I stood aside, kept pursing my lips, at this time I saw that they all began to go down, and the old lady Zhang next to me seemed to be going down with me, turning her head to look at my hesitant look, she grabbed one of my hands and gently clamped it under her arm.

"Daughter-in-law, let's go down and have a look. ”

“…… Well. Old lady, I'll help you. ”

Our group slowly descended the stairs and walked to the front hall. More people gathered here, more lanterns and torches were lit, and for a while, the originally dark and quiet night suddenly became brightly lit. Not only the Cui family's father and son and the people they brought, but also Pei Yuanxiu's subordinates, as well as some of the Song family's 'attendants' all gathered, and all eyes were staring at those black-clothed 'masked' people, and this posture has become a public trial posture.

Soon, Choi Tae also rushed in from outside with people.

With a happy look on his face, as soon as he walked in, he said to Pei Yuan: "Childe, I heard that the 'traitor' has been caught. ”

Pei Yuanxiu let out an "um" sound.

Cui Tai smiled: "Congratulations to Childe, you can sit back and relax from now on!"

Pei Yuanxiu still didn't have much joy, just looked at him: "Cui Gong came back so soon, how is the offensive ahead?"

Cui Tai was stunned for a moment before he said, "Uh...... I heard that I caught a 'traitor', so I came back immediately to confirm it. The offensive ahead...... Uh, it's still stuck. ”

Pei Yuanxiu's gaze was faint and he didn't speak.

But at this time, Mrs. Zhang began to ask 'privately' again: "What about my son, what about my grandson, where are they?"

The people around didn't know what to say for a while.

This place is obviously the lobby of the Song family, but the people who come here are Cui Tai's father and son and Pei Yuanxiu's 'wife', and there is no one surnamed Song, this situation inevitably makes people feel that they are dominating;

Therefore, everyone doesn't know how to answer this old lady.

I thought about it for a while and said, "Since this is the place of the Song family, shouldn't it be too late to interrogate these people after the people of the Song family come back?"

"Hehe," as soon as my words fell, Han Ruoshi laughed, glanced at me lightly from the corner of her eye, and said, "Miss Yan has good intentions, and she wants to wait for the people of the Song family to come back." I'm afraid that we can't wait for them to come back, but they will come back a long time ago. ”

This sentence is already obvious.

But Pei Yuanxiu was still much more restrained after all, and said in a deep voice: "Ruoshi, don't talk nonsense." ”

Han Ruoshi immediately said, "Yes." ”

He slowly walked to a chair in front of him and sat down, and then nodded to the people around him, and everyone sat down one after another, I helped Mrs. Zhang to sit on his lower hand, watching Cui Jiancheng push those people to the center of the hall, several people were silent, and their hands were tied behind their backs.

Pei Yuanxiu said: "Let's talk about it first, how did you catch these people?"

Cui Jiancheng hurriedly got up and walked to the center of the lobby and said, "Before I went down, I always suspected that someone took advantage of the siege of the city to secretly make the same song as the defenders in Cangzhou City. Attacking the city tonight, I have been paying attention to whether anyone only does superficial work during the siege. As a result, I really found it in the next. ”

"Oh, what are they doing?"

"According to the previous plan, I was responsible for assisting on the east side of the city gate, and on the next side of directing the siege, I noticed that some people secretly withdrew from their siege team and secretly passed to a place at the east corner of the city wall. Therefore, follow in secret. ”

When I heard this, I suddenly chuckled in my heart.

However, there was still no expression on his face, I just glanced at Pei Yuanxiu carefully, his brows were slightly locked, and he looked at Cui Jiancheng intently.

"And then?"

"Then, when we went down, the corner was not within our siege range, and there were no defenders guarding it, and it was pitch black, but tonight I saw some torches flickering, and figures shaking. I suspect that someone is there to act. ”

"What do they do?"

"I saw a few grain trucks parked there. ”

"A grain truck?"

"That's right!"

Cui Jiancheng said, his eyes flickering towards Han Ruoshi, Han Ruoshi immediately leaned towards Pei Yuanxiu and said, "Sure enough, Yuan Xiu, there is a reason why Cangzhou City can't be captured for so long." So many strong cities have been taken before, how can a small Cangzhou city hold on for so long without outside assistance when the grain and grass are burned down. It turned out that someone was secretly sending food inside. ”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a voice shouted, "What the hell is going on?! Why are you all here?"

"Get out of the way, I want to see Childe!"

……

Everyone looked up and saw that it was Song Huaiyi, dressed in armor and with a fierce spirit, striding in from the outside.

As soon as he walked in, he saw that in the brightly lit lobby, Pei Yuanxiu and Cui Tai were sitting here, and there were several black-clothed 'hooded' people standing in the center of the lobby, and they were stunned for a moment, and their brows were furrowed: "What's going on?"

As soon as Cui Tai saw him, the corners of his mouth 'revealed' a 'yin' cold smile.

The expression on Song Huaiyi's face immediately changed from dazed to angry, and he pointed at them: "You-"

"My son, my son!"

Before he finished his words, Zhang Lao Taijun got up and stepped forward first, I was worried that the old man would fall, and hurriedly followed her side with one hand to support her arm, Song Huaiyi saw his mother, and he didn't care about being angry, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the old lady, and said anxiously: "Why is my mother here? Shouldn't you have rested a long time ago?"

"My son, I'm scared to death. This night I kept shouting, looking for you everywhere for my mother, but I couldn't find you. ”

"Mother's ......"

"I can't find you, why are there so many strangers in the house, but none of our people are gone?

“……”

"What the hell are they going to do?"

The old lady's speech trembled, and between her words she was like an ordinary old man who was frightened by the robbers who broke into the house, Song Huaiyi was even more distressed, and hurriedly helped her to sit on the chair next to her, and said in a low voice: "My son is not filial, and my mother is frightened again." ”

He calmed down for a long time, and finally calmed down Old Taijun Zhang.

Then, he raised his head, looked at Pei Yuanxiu, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at the surrounding situation again, and then said, "Childe, what's going on?"

Pei Yuanxiu was also a little uneasy and apologetic about the attitude and those words of the old lady just now, but he couldn't show too much, so he said slowly: "Something happened tonight, I was going to sort it out, but I didn't expect to disturb the old man's rest, and I ask Duke Song and the old lady to forgive me." After this incident, I will make amends to the old man. ”

Hearing him say this, his words were sincere, and Song Huaiyi didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore.

However, if Mrs. Zhang doesn't talk about it, it doesn't mean that there is no need to mention other things, Song Huaiyi's eyes fell on the Cui family's father and son, and with a little resentment, he said: "This matter can not be mentioned for the time being, but tonight's offensive, why did it suddenly stop?"

“……”

"Childe, tonight's attack has been planned in detail!"

“……”

"When I was besieging the city, suddenly the assists on both sides stopped, it turns out that Cui Tai, and your son, you actually retreated and fled back from the battle? I could have taken Cangzhou City in one fell swoop tonight, and now——"

He was so angry that he couldn't breathe evenly, but Cui Tai got up and walked to him, patting him on the shoulder affectionately: "I know that you have worked hard, if the siege of the city tonight is really completed, this merit must be yours." However, no matter how hard we attack the city, it is useless, if someone eats inside and outside, even if this Cangzhou city is captured, it will not be able to defend it. ”

"Inside and out?"

Song Huaiyi immediately frowned: "Who are you talking about?"

"I said you—don't you understand?"

"What do you mean?"

Cui Tai laughed, and Cui Jiancheng also sneered on the side and said, "Shibo, don't pretend to be confused anymore. The two of us worked together to attack the city, but a small Cangzhou city was besieged and attacked, and it couldn't be taken for so long, if it weren't for the 'treacherous' in the middle, secretly transporting food to Cangzhou City, ensuring that the people in the city would not starve to death, would we be so embarrassed?"

“……”

"Tonight, the little nephew saw people carrying food at a corner outside the city, and he arrested them. ”

“……”

"Do you want to know who is the person who transports the grain?"

If Song Huaiyi was still indignant just now, and there was still some unclear situation, as soon as the two father and son said it now, it would be completely clear, and he suddenly stared at the black-clothed people in the center of the lobby who were tied with their hands behind their backs and their heads 'covered', and their faces sank: "What do you mean-"

Cui Jiancheng laughed.

"No, it can't be!"

Song Huaiyi's voice was fierce: "This can't be-"

"Old Song," Cui Tai on the side interrupted him: "Isn't it, you still don't understand?" The person in charge of the siege tonight, our father and son are here, but you ——," He sneered: "Your precious sons, where are you now?"

Song Huaiyi froze suddenly.

He quickly glanced around, indeed, although this place was his home, he was the only one surnamed Song standing here, Song Mi and Song Xuan, who were not present.

At this moment, the sneer on Cui Tai's face had turned into 'yin' ruthlessness, and he turned his head to Pei Yuanxiu and said, "Childe, it seems that Song Gong will not easily let go if he doesn't see the evidence." It's better for us to interrogate these people directly and let the truth come out, or let some people die!"

Pei Yuanxiu has never spoken, and in fact, there is no need to speak at this time.

After all, things have come to this point, and the true vision of these people must be made public.

So, he nodded.

Immediately, Cui Jiancheng stepped forward and ripped off the black cloth bags on the heads of the black-clothed men.
