Chapter 649: More than one
This play is really tortuous, the head of the guard was ordered by the lord to kill the rest of the people, but the Zhao family was not worried about the head of the guard, and sent another person to kill the head of the guard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Immediately afterwards, the person sent by the leader to follow jumped out and played the role of a good person, saying that he was a dart game and was escorting a rich man to Lincheng.
The people in the dart game have a sense of justice, and when they saw that someone was committing murder in broad daylight, they drew their knives to help.
Defeat those five "bad guys", without any combat effectiveness, saying that they will be twisted and sent to the government.
At that time, the head of the guard and the steward changed their faces and tried to stop it, but unfortunately, where could they resist the "dart game" who was too enthusiastic about justice?
So I could only watch as the people of the dart game took the five people away.
Now these five people are staying in the leader's private torture cell.
The "rich man" was also enthusiastic, knowing that the Zhao family had encountered bandits, and had been used by third-rate means, and he couldn't move for a while, and he was afraid that he would encounter accidents again if he stayed in this wilderness, so he asked the Zhao family if they wanted to help.
The steward was afraid that the head of the guard would kill him, and the head of the guard was afraid that the lord had sent more than a force to hunt them down, and they all asked the "rich man" to take them in for the time beingβall of them took a fancy to the good skills and warm-heartedness of those who played the game.
So, the Zhao family was naturally taken away by the people of the dart game - the rich master was going to Lincheng.
Along the way, the rich old man and the two talked freely in the carriage, discarding their hearts and talking freely, and the topic unconsciously turned to the border city where the war was fighting.
The rich man was full of resentment, saying that his niece and daughter, who had grown up watching from a young age, was brutally killed by the Turks at the age of Hua Xin, causing his sister-in-law to lose her heart and go crazy for many years, and talked about the cruelty of the Turks, and described the tragedy of those women and children in great detail.
All of a sudden, the two people who had just done something sorry for their family and country were full of shame, plus they abandoned their conscience to do such things as fornicating with foreign enemies for the main family, and they turned around and were abandoned by the main family as outcasts, and their hearts were like ashes.
After all, the steward did not extinguish his conscience, from the beginning of his conversation with the head of the guard, in fact, the clues can be seen, he does not agree with the matter of the master's family's enemies, but because he is a subordinate, he has no right to stop the master's actions, and in the end he can only be embarrassed.
But after he experienced the matter of "killing people and destroying his mouth", he has long lost his affection for this master family in his heart - a master who can abandon his subordinates at any time and is still a master who betrays the country to seek glory, and there is nothing worth nostalgia for.
The steward didn't even struggle, and he opened his mouth.
"Someone is sending food to the Turks!"
The rich man didn't expect that the breakthrough would be opened so quickly, he immediately looked serious, and repeatedly asked the steward if what he said was true, whether there was any real evidence, seeing the steward nodded, the rich man immediately ordered to turn to the border city, and he took the two of them to find the big man to report the matter.
The head of the guard wanted to stop it at first, but then he thought about it, and he was also regarded as an outcast, since you were unkind, you can't blame me for being unjust, so he also joined the ranks of exposing.
......
"Well, that's the way it is, even I didn't expect that there were people in that group who killed their relatives in righteousness."
The leader picked up a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and said so much in one breath that his mouth was dry.
Zhou Tingyu tapped his fingers on the stone table and groaned, "So, they have already recruited?" β
"Not yet, otherwise why would I send you out?"
The leader was speechless, "These two people said that they had to see the big man to tell the matter, and they said that it was important, and they refused to say it if they couldn't see the big man who could call the shots." The remaining forty-six people looked at the two of them and acted on their faces, and they were also small minions, and they only knew a little bit about it, so it was of little use. β
Zhou Tingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do these two have any other conditions?" β
"Yes! They let us get their families out. β
The leader looked at Zhou Tingyu appreciatively, he didn't expect this Fifth Highness to be so smart.
"I guess, you've already set out to save people?" Zhou Tingyu smiled.
"Well, I have already ordered my men to go down, I thought, a whole caravan was killed by bandits, if even the families of the caravan people could not escape, then the bandits' statement is strange, so their women and children must still be safe."
It was not difficult for the leader to bring a few women and children out of Fengcheng, and in order to reassure the steward and the head of the guard, his men had already set out.
The leader estimated the footsteps, "Maybe we can get them back in a day or two." β
"Your Highness, do you want to follow me to meet those two first?" The leader said with some eagerness.
Zhou Tingyu pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Don't worry, didn't you say that you will be able to pick up their family members in a day or two?" Let them have no worries, so that we can know more about the inside story. β
The leader barely suppressed his eagerness, and had to nod in agreement.
"By the way, those five praying mantises, have you tried them?" Zhou Tingyu asked about the five people who wanted to kill the head of the guard.
"It's a tough bone, I can bear not to say it, I plan to meet them in person tonight, and see how many days they can last." The leader grinned and rubbed his hands.
"You can't let them bite their tongues and kill themselves."
Zhou Tingyu only gave a little advice, and did not have any mercy for the punishment of these people, but pondered,
"We detained these five people and went to rescue their families, I'm afraid that the Zhao family will soon know that something is wrong, and our side will speed up."
He turned his head to look at the shopkeeper Yan and asked, "Shopkeeper, have you found out the ins and outs of that batch of grain?" β
They can't just listen to the confessions of the Zhao family, if they don't understand, I'm afraid they can easily be led astray.
"The Zhao family has not purchased a large amount of grain in the past six months, and the grain shops in Fengcheng and several counties around Fengcheng have not changed much."
Yan's words made several people look at each other, and their hearts sank, it seems that it is not only the Zhao family that is involved.
Even Zhou Tingyu felt that there was a fog in front of him, and he didn't know how many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods there were in the fog.
The leader frowned, "So, I'm afraid that only the Zhao family knows the ins and outs of this batch of grain?"
Zhou Tingyu didn't feel so relaxed in his heart, I'm afraid that the whereabouts of this batch of food, even the person in charge doesn't know what it is-they are all regarded as outcasts by the Zhao family, how can they know such a secret inside story?
Zhou Tingyu looked at the leader, frowned and asked, "Since the grain can't be found, what about the other courtyard?" Do you have eyebrows?"
