Chapter 156: The Black Hand

This thought is simply hypocritical.

However, it became more and more determined in Xie Ke's heart.

When she didn't separate, she didn't feel that once she was separated, she really tasted the feeling of living like a year, as long as she was free, she couldn't help but think about him...... Think he's full? Is it warm? Things are going well in the north...... Will he be in danger, in short, his image did not fade from her mind for a moment.

Now that the food has been lost, it can be regarded as a curtain of God......

Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief. "Young grandmother, guess where the He guards found the food?"

Xie Ke didn't have to guess at all, so much grain must be eye-catching when hidden in one place, and the best way is to break it into pieces...... "Most of it is hidden in a Zhuangzi or village." ”

Cong Rui's eyes widened in an instant, she couldn't figure it out now, but the young grandmother guessed it.

"The slave and maid are stupid, and they really can't figure out why the other party hides the grain so far away, and it is scattered in various households in the village?" Since you have robbed the grain, shouldn't you hide it nearby? And it's safest to put it in one place, scatter around, how many people have to be sent to guard it. In short, Cong Rui felt that what the other party did was really incomprehensible.

However, at the beginning, the young grandmother had carefully told He Zhang to focus on exploring all parts of the village, instead of focusing all his energy on the mountains and forests like Zhao Song, looking for caves and mountain passes.

"What's so difficult about this, so much grain, wherever it exists, it will attract people's attention, and it can only be settled if it is broken into parts. As for why it is in the south of Hele, it is natural that the other party likes to make noise. At the beginning, the other party arranged a drama where the food was missing. Therefore, normal thoughts must not be able to find food, so they can only go sideways. Cong Rui understood what Xie Ke said, but she still didn't understand it, but this did not prevent her from admiring her own girl.

Cong Rui served Xie Ke to change clothes.

Then she hurriedly went to see He Zhang, many things, she had to get answers from He Zhang's mouth.

Since the grain was really found by her, it shows that there is a chance that the king of Xiang has made a move.

They 'searched' the grain back, which naturally provoked the king of Xiang...... She had to think about the consequences of this trouble, Qi Lu was a difficult time at this time, if the king of Xiang would make it difficult again. Qi Lu will be in a difficult situation more and more......

In a word. The road ahead looks thorny. And Xie Ke's mind was a mess.

It's still a flower hall, but it's different from yesterday, whether it's He Zhang or Cheng Jin, there is joy on his face.

Meet Xie Ke. He Zhang stepped forward and bowed. "The subordinates live up to the trust of the young grandmother. All the food has been recovered. No less. He Zhang said this sentence loudly, and when his young grandmother showed him the way, he was full of despair. felt that he must be defeated by Zhao Song this time.

When it comes to manpower. They are inferior to Zhao Song. The network is even less than ......

Yesterday, Zhao Song only posted a few posts, saying that he had lost a batch of goods. As for what the goods are, he naturally won't explain them, and everyone understands them...... Who would say this kind of thing clearly, the so-called everyone has their own way to get rich. However, once the news of losing the goods was thrown, there were dozens of replies, that is, some scolded the bandits, and some comforted them, but in the end, everyone said that they could borrow some people from Zhao Song.

That night, hundreds of people gathered outside the gate, and then swaggered out of the city with Zhao Song to look for things.

The one who walks is called wind and fire. And they walked out of the side door in a gray way, because the direction they were going was exactly opposite the direction in which they were dropping the grain.

The place where they walked and the place where they threw their grain were two directions, and they were relative...... Wouldn't it be farther and farther away from the grain, but the trust in Xie Ke made He Zhang feel that this search would be in vain, and he still resolutely embarked on the road of searching.

But it turns out.

What my young grandmother thinks is right.

The other party is indeed a person who does not follow the rules...... It really made him find clues in a small village in the extreme south of Hele. Then he joined forces with the guards, and he was able to capture dozens of masked people on the other side just by looking at it, but the other party was poisoned and died. But the food was found.

And with one stone, no less.

"Good work." Xie Ke said with a smile.

The expression can be called calm, because Xie Ke's face is calm, the smiles on the faces of He Zhang and Cheng Jin are also slowly raised.

The food has been found, but the young grandmother doesn't seem to be very happy, is it possible, there are still difficulties in front of her? "The grain is recovered, the second master should be worry-free, why is the young grandmother still full of worries......" He Zhang couldn't help asking.

Xie Ke smiled, but the smile was unusually pale and weak.

"The grain was found, but have you ever thought about it, who robbed it? We have snatched back the grain, will the other party have a follow-up move? ”

This? He Zhang and Cheng Jin couldn't help but look at each other, they were really happy after finding the grain, and they didn't think deeply about this problem along the way. Yes, who snatched the grain, and why did the other party go far away to transport the grain to such a far place to hide. Moreover, in the village where the grain was found, the people obviously knew the inside story.

More than 10,000 stone grain, each household can get a few hundred stones. But they all insisted that it was a kind person.

There are so many kind-hearted people in the world.

Moreover, when they did not move, dozens of masked men surrounded them.

It's just that the village is under the jurisdiction of Hele Town after all, and it is inconvenient for them to use too much, so they only bring back their own grain.

But why did the village help the bandits? What is the reason for this? And who is behind the scenes? They have found food so aggressively, will the other party be ambitious?

can dispatch dozens of masked people who are not weak in kung fu to grab food, and the other party is naturally not talking generally......

What's more, many of the other party's arrangements can be called meticulous, if it weren't for Xie Ke's analysis and guidance, no one would have thought that the grain would be transported there, and it would be separated and hidden in that way.

But who will snatch the food?

And does the other party know what the grain is used for? If so...... That shows that although they hide their identities, they have never escaped each other's eyes and ears.

If they don't know, they should have vaguely known what they have done.

Especially what Zhao Song did, it was simply a gong and drum to announce the entire Hele people.

The next thing they have to guard against is actually the other party's revenge. Such a simple truth, they can't even figure it out, but it's a pity that he is still the second master's henchman. It's really a dereliction of duty......

He Zhang figured everything out, and his face was full of remorse. "What the young grandmother said was only for a while. The subordinates really can't think of who the other party is? It doesn't look like an ordinary mountain bandit...... The mountain bandits have always acted unscrupulously, but they will not be arranged like this, not to mention that there are no large mountain bandits near this Hele Town. The subordinates suspected that they were from Beijing...... It's just that there are too many people in Beijing who are at odds with the second master, but the emperor ...... In addition, there are many people who are red on the second master's errand. Therefore, it is really difficult for subordinates to identify who is in trouble with us. ”

On the side, Cheng Jin also nodded in agreement.

I think He Zhang is reasonable.

is such a blind guess, Da Wei is so big, where did he guess......

"Think about it, which force is closest to the South of Hople? When people do things, they always instinctively seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. ”

The implication is that the one who grabs the grain chooses to hide the grain as close to his sphere of influence as possible. This is a human instinctive choice, and with a few scheming, this matter can be regarded as seamless, if it is not for the fact that the previous King of Xiang finally ascended the throne, and the folk rumor is that the King of Xiang has done a lot of things in order to recruit troops and horses and expand his strength.

Xie Ke couldn't guess where the grain would be hidden?

After all, in this world, people's hearts are the most unpredictable...... The surrounding area of Hele Town stretches for hundreds of miles, and there are 10,000 stone grains in Tibetan areas, and where can I find them.

It's just that they shouldn't use that trick to 'disappear', which exposes each other. It's just that this exposure is only understood by Xie Ke in his heart.

He Zhang thought for a moment.

Then he looked surprised. Because he thought that Hele Town was close to the fief of the King of Xiang.

King Xiang is the second son of the emperor, and his mother Li Guifei won the emperor's letter Chong, so when he was canonized as the king of Xiang, the emperor rewarded the fief.

Having a fief is certainly a big reward, but it also shows that the king of Xiang has no chance with the throne. After all, the prince of a country, the entire Great Wei is his, and naturally there is no need for a fief.

“…… It is the king of Xiang. He Zhang shouted softly.

Cheng Jin, who was on the side, instantly turned gloomy when he heard this. They are all smart people, in fact, they don't need Xie Ke to say it clearly, they already understand the deep meaning of Xie Ke's words.

If this was done by the King of Xiang, it would be really difficult.

However, He Zhang still couldn't believe it in his heart, in his opinion, King Xiang was the second son of the emperor, and he was born from a noble concubine. Since he landed, he lost the qualification to win the heir, and if the queen has nothing to do, there is still a little slim chance. However, in the second year after the queen married into the royal family, she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son.

That is, the current His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

This King of Hunan is unwilling, how can he succeed?

If the person behind the grain grabbing is really him, this will be of great significance...... "Does the young grandmother have evidence?" Xie Ke shook his head. It's just that all kinds of clues are gathered in one place, and such a conclusion has been reached, and there is no evidence. What's more, this kind of thing, the person who executes it must be a dead soldier, but looking at the entire Great Wei, how many people can afford to raise so many dead soldiers? Even the second master would not dare to secretly raise the dead. Xie Ke's words are true, every mansion has regulations for guards.

Qi Luming's guards were no more than 100 people.

As for the secret, it was because the emperor was biased and turned a blind eye to him, but that was before, if Qi Lu returned to the capital safely.

I'm afraid that the emperor's next step will be to attack the guards of the Qi Mansion.

Moreover, the emperor is extremely disgusted with the 'dead soldiers'. After all, he is in a high position, and naturally some people are worried about his life, and the dead soldiers who enter the palace every year to assassinate him are enough for the emperor to have a headache. Therefore, the Great Wei has strict laws, and ordinary people are not allowed to domesticate the dead.

It's just that the 'dead man' is indispensable for some people. For example...... Royal family. [Thanks to 'haha11122' for the tip.] (To be continued......)
