Chapter 082: Settled

"Uncle, I found it!"

Qi Dayong walked into the study quickly with a crutch, walked to the desk, and replied in a low voice: "As you expected, it was Ma Zhongtai's ex-wife Anayi who robbed the two children of the Ma family. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Qi Dayong's voice could not hide his excitement, Ma Zhongtai's family is the biggest threat to Wusa County, but it is a pity that their family is too hidden, except for a small number of people on the surface, but how many weapons are hidden in the secret, outsiders are not clear.

Everyone knows that the Ma family is powerful and is the number one local snake, but no one knows where the specific soldiers and horses are and what kind of allies they have.

And this is the main reason why everyone is afraid of the Ma family, and the unknown danger is the most fearful.

The more this is the case, the more uneasy the big guy is in his heart, and he always feels that the 'peace' in front of him is just the calm before the storm.

Qi Jinzhi knew that the Ma family had already reached the point where they had to rebel, and the reason why they were not moving now must be brewing a bigger conspiracy.

But what kind of conspiracy it is, Qi Jinzhi is at a loss.

At this time, there was such a thing in the Ma family, and Qi Jinzhi was keenly aware of the problem inside, so he immediately ordered someone to investigate.

The hard work paid off, and I really found some clues.

With these clues, you may not be able to take down the Ma family directly, but you can find a way to overcome them.

can eradicate Wusa's biggest uneasiness factor, how can Qi Dayong not be excited?

“…… The two boys were also clever, and they actually followed them into the mountains, and found that there seemed to be many people in the mountains."

Qi Dayong couldn't hide his pride in his tone, those two 'clever' boys were trained by him, they were excellent, and his face as a senior and commander was also bright.

"They observed the neighborhood for a few days and found that every two or three days there would be more than a dozen wagons to deliver some goods, most of which were food and other daily necessities,"

The corners of Qi Dayong's mouth rose, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden: "The two boys estimated and roughly deduced that there were about 2,000 people and horses hidden in the mountain recess, and they also guessed that there should be a village in that place, because although the outside regularly comes to deliver food, vegetables, meat, and the like are rarely delivered, and there have always been vegetables grown there and livestock raised." ”

He said vaguely, where is the cottage in that mountain recess, it is clearly a secret military base.

Qi Jinzhi listened intently, and did not say a word during the whole process.

After Qi Dayong finished reporting all the situations reported by the subordinates, Qi Jinzhi asked: "In addition to Anayi, are there other people in the mountain recess?" ”

This other person is naturally not an ordinary soldier, but refers to someone of the same status as Anayi. To put it bluntly, Qi Jinzhi wanted to know whether that mountain recess was the base of the Ma family, or the territory operated by several families.

Since coming to Usa, Qi Jinzhi has fought with Ma Zhongtai and the Ma family behind him several times in succession, and has gained the upper hand again and again, but for some reason, Qi Jinzhi always feels that Wusa seems to have a force that is trying his best to help the Ma family and the court against it.

As for who it was, Qi Jinzhi had no clue.

Previously, he suspected that it was the Zhu family in Shuixi, but he quickly overturned this speculation.

The discovery of the secret base is a good starting point, and perhaps from here, he can find many valuable clues.

Qi Dayong thought hard about it and said: "There shouldn't be, but one of the boys can speak some Miao dialect, and once took advantage of the darkness to blend into the mountain recess, and listened to the private soldiers inside that a few days ago, a noble girl from Shuixi came to visit Anayi." Anayi's attitude towards the woman was very strange, saying that she was friendly, and there was hatred in her words and deeds, saying that she was an enemy, but she didn't take the opportunity to do anything to others-"

"Ah Zhuo, it must be Ah Zhuo!"

Qi Jinzhi knocked the table, and then he was a little puzzled, didn't Ah Zhuo and Anayi turn their faces a long time ago, the two are enemies, especially after experiencing the events of Xin'an County, it was only a matter of time before Ah Zhuo and Anayi met in short arms, but how could Ah Zhuo know Anayi's hiding place?

Also, what did Azhuo do with Anayi? It shouldn't be to persuade her to 'turn back to the shore'.

Talking about cooperation? It shouldn't be or can't.

Qi Dayong furrowed his brows and guessed: "Could it be that Zhan Azhuo is going to sow discord?" Maybe Anayi suddenly sent someone to pick up the two children, just because of Zhan Azhuo. ”

Qi Dayong is worthy of being a careless and careful person, and his instinctive guess is not much different from the truth.

"......" Qi Jinzhi rested his fingers on the table, thought for a while, and said, "That's it, leave them alone for now." Moving on to the situation in the recess. ”

"Yes," Qi Dayong agreed, focusing on some details, and Qi Jinzhi nodded again and again.

The master and servant talked for a while, and Qi Jin suddenly looked at Qi Dayong's legs, "How are your injuries doing?" Can I ride a horse? ”

Qi Dayong's spirits were greatly lifted, he puffed up his chest, and said loudly: "It's been fine for a long time, it's all because of Doctor Yan, I have to say something 'recuperation for three months', it's not the first time that the little one has injured his bones, I want to kill the enemy for the first time, when I suppressed the bandits, my subordinates' legs were broken, why don't you still tie a bundle of bamboo planks and continue to kill the enemy." Where is it so expensive? ”

Qi Jinzhi knew Qi Dayong's temperament well and knew that he would never miss the next action. Moreover, after the matter of Feng Sihu and Zheng Biao, Qi Jinzhi was also a little wary of his own guards.

The only two who can be absolutely trusted are Qi Dayong and Liu Hu.

Therefore, even if Qi Dayong's injury is not good now, he can't let him recuperate in the back office.

"You rough man, Dr. Yan is dedicated to his duties and is for your good,"

Qi Jinzhi scolded with a smile, "Okay, you are not a person who can sit still, even if I don't let you go, you will quietly follow." ”

Qi Dayong smirked twice, scratched his head, and was embarrassed to defend himself, because he was not wrong. Can't sit still and follow secretly, this is indeed his style of acting.

Qi Jinzhi suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Later, you will go down and gather the brothers, let them get ready, and set off for Wumeng Mansion tomorrow." ”

Hearing Qi Jinzhi's order, Qi Dayong didn't ask, habitually straightened his waist, and replied loudly: "Yes!" ”

……

The next morning, when the sky was still bright, the county government was lit up.

"Uncle, be careful all the way."

Gu Jialuo personally sent Qi Jinzhi out of the courtyard gate, stood on the steps, and repeatedly advised: "The situation on the Wumeng side is not very good, the Tartars, the rebels, the wealthy clans, and the ruffians all jumped out to toss, as well as those officials who were frightened...... Alas, you—you must be careful! ”

Gu Jialuo's delicate face could not hide his worry.

In fact, what she said is not the most worrying, the real problem is that Qi Jinzhi went to Wumeng to be a bit 'unknown'.

Qi Jinzhi is the Wusa County Order, not the Wumeng Prefect.

If it is the other way around, something happens to Usa, and as the prefect of Umeng, it is the duty to come to Usa to preside over the overall situation, and it should be shared.

But Qi Jinzhi is a subordinate official, but he went to the Shangfu to meddle in government affairs, which sounds good to be an expedient measure for the public, and to put it badly, it is trespassing, or even dereliction of duty - the Great Qi Law stipulates that officials are not allowed to leave their own jurisdiction without authorization, and Qi Jinzhi's jurisdiction is Wusa, and going to Wumeng is already crossing the border.

If it weren't for the backers in Beijing, there would be too many benefits to going to Wumeng, and Qi Jinzhi would not have taken this risk at all.

"I know all this, but in fact, the one who should be most careful is you, and when I go, it is estimated that those ghosts and ghosts will also come out to make trouble."

Qi Jinzhi raised his hand to help Gu Jialuo sort out the emanation of his sideburns, and said softly: "Fortunately, there are Liu Hu and Mr. Xiao, and the county town has strengthened its defenses, otherwise I really don't worry about you staying here alone." ”

Gu Jialuo tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Don't worry, a few little ghosts who can't be on the stage, I can handle it, don't forget, I'm not an ordinary weak woman." ”

Gu Jialuo deliberately turned his right index finger.

Qi Jinzhi remembered Gu Jialuo's sneak attack on Zheng Biao that day, not to mention, she threw a good chain dart.

"Be careful!"

Qi Jinzhi repeatedly advised, and before leaving, he explained again: "By the way, continue to try to contact the capital and ask about the situation at home." I'm counting the time, and things should be pretty much going on over there. ”

It's been more than half a month since the Halloween Festival, and the turmoil in Beijing should have a result.

Gu Jialuo nodded: "I wrote it down." In fact, she also wants to know the movements in Beijing.

The couple sent a letter to Jingli early, and several old men in Beijing (cough cough, including Gu Jialuo's grandfather Gu Guogong) are thousand-year-old foxes, but a grassland barbarian in Kudulu plays and chats with them, even if there is an internal response, it may not be successful.

It's just that Gu Jialuo still can't help but worry.

But if there is chaos in the palace, even if there is preparation in advance, casualties will inevitably occur.

All the relatives of Gu Jialuo and Qi Jinzhi are in the capital, and most of them are qualified to enter Beijing to participate in the birthday banquet.

Subsequent facts proved that Gugaro did have the potential of a crow's beak.

But she didn't know at the moment that all her mind was on Qi Jinzhi at this moment.

On the front school field, Qi Dayong had already led a hundred guards to assemble, all of them were wearing armor, holding helmets in one hand and weapons in the other, looking at Qi Jinzhi with blazing eyes.

Qi Jinzhi got on the horse and waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”

Qi Dayong and the other guards snorted, saddled their horses, and followed their masters out of the yamen.

The horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone floor, and the sound of 'da-da' was like a drumbeat, hitting some people's eardrums at once.

"Qi Jingguan went to Wumeng? Okay, I let him escape last time, and this time I will have his head! ”

Ma Zhongtai was still dressed as a celebrity, but his words were loud and murderous, "You take the path and hurry to Wufeng Mountain to inform Ah Di and them." ”

"Yes."

The subordinate agreed, and jumped out of the horse house.

Ma Zhongtai narrowed his eyes and watched his subordinates leave. Qi Jinzhi gave the Ma family the greatest humiliation, this revenge, the Ma family will avenge no matter what.

Therefore, as soon as the news of 'Qi Jinzhi wants to go to Wumeng' came out from the inside line of the Yamen, Ma Zhongtai quickly contacted the village.

The owner of Ma Lao Village also remembered his brother's hatred, and Qi Jinzhi really couldn't stay, so after discussing with several clan elders, he decided to repeat the old drama and set up an ambush in Wufeng Mountain again.

Only this time, they prepared enough manpower, weapons, poisons, and so on, and vowed not to let Qi Jinzhi escape.

But what the Ma family didn't expect was that their people stayed in Wufeng Mountain for a day and a night, and they didn't see Qi Jinzhi's figure at all.

Just when the ambush people were waiting anxiously, Qi Jinzhi led his subordinates, but quietly touched the 'mountain recess'.

Originally, there were 2,000 people there, but in order to ensure the ambush and kill Qi Jinzhi, the old village owner specially transferred 500 people.

The remaining fifteen hundred people did not perceive the danger coming, it was not that they were not vigilant, but they were really hidden in the mountain recess, except for a few people who knew about it, even the heads of the five major families of Usa did not know.

Not to mention that Qi Jinzhi sent someone in advance, and at the same time, he also brought in the 'anesthetic' that Gu Jialuo personally concocted.

Whether the medicine is good or not depends on the efficacy. The efficacy of Gu's Pharmaceutical, Qi Jinzhi has personally experienced it.

It's not a simple anesthetic, but a treasure that is more powerful than the legendary sweat medicine!

Tsk, a pack of medicine goes down, to put it mildly, it is 1,500 people, even 1,500 elephants, and it can be poured with medicine!

A signal lit up in mid-air in the hollow.

Qi Jinzhi led the men and horses to carefully kill them, and in the camp, there were people lying down and sleeping soundly.

There is still a large cauldron on the stove not far away, and most of the fresh mushroom soup in the pot has been gone.

Qi Jinzhi laughed silently, raised his hand and gestured, and the guards took action one after another.

An hour later, there was a muffled 'boom' in the hollow, followed by clouds of smoke, and the billowing black smoke was mixed with the pungent smell of burning flesh.

Qi Jinzhi's only regret is that Anayi is not there.

After killing all the men and horses of the secret base, blowing up and burning all the weapons and food, Qi Jinzhi and his subordinates took a short rest, and then diverted to the Sixth Division of Wumeng.

He did not go straight to Wumeng Mansion, but went to the small county town adjacent to Wusa, and wiped out the rebels in the city like thunder.

This was followed by two other counties controlled by King Xiaoliang.

Finally, he went back to Umeng.

When he arrived at Wufeng Mountain, Qi Jinzhi did not take the official road in the middle, but took advantage of the night to touch the mountain, and continued to drugged as he could.

It is said that these people who have been lying in ambush in the mountains and forests for several days have long lost their patience, and if they follow their wishes, they should evacuate as early as the first day when they did not find Qi Jinzhi.

However, the leader is the son of Second Uncle Ma, who is bent on avenging his father, he seems to have fallen into a fight with Wufeng Mountain, and he didn't agree to leave without waiting for Qi Jin.

The subordinates were full of complaints, but they did not dare to disobey, but as time passed, they lost their initial vigilance, and now they don't look like they're here to 'set up an ambush', but like they're coming to camp, and they're loose during the day, let alone at night.

So, Qi Jinzhi easily succeeded!

Qi Jinzhi's side triumphed all the way, but the Annan Palace's side was frustrated again and again-

Cao Su, the leading general who besieged Yizhou, was killed violently, the Yizhou front collapsed instantly, and all the results achieved in half a month were all in vain;

The Shuixi battalion quickly attacked, joined forces with the Xuanfu envoy and several wealthy clans, and not only repelled the besieging rebels, but also killed most of the rebels;

Several principal officials from Yunnan, Guizhou, and Shu returned to their respective jurisdictions one after another, and hurried to the city wall without waiting to catch their breath, not afraid of danger, to organize the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight against the thieves......

In the past few days, the situation in the southwest has suddenly reversed, and the palace of Annam has also fallen into a desperate situation.

The imperial court finally learned the news of the rebellion in the palace of Annan, and the sage, who had just quelled the rebellion of the forbidden palace, was furious, and immediately ordered Ma Hanze and several thousand households stationed in the southwest to send troops to quell the rebellion.

Ma Hanze led the southwest battalion to kill violently, which became the last straw that crushed the palace.

On the second day after Ma Hanze's troops arrived in the city, a fire broke out in the splendid palace of Annam...... (To be continued.) )
