Chapter 29: Crimes
Before approaching the tent, the Chinese officer used his horseshoe sleeve to Li Kecheng, and Li Kecheng was so busy standing aside that he didn't even dare to come out.
The lieutenant officer went straight into the tent, came out of the tent without much effort, and nodded to Li Kecheng. Li Kecheng walked into the tent with the Chinese officer with light steps, and saw Wang Xuegang dressed in civilian clothes, sitting majestically on a chair, holding a silver hookah in his hand, and two bewitching women waiting on the side. Li Kecheng hurriedly bowed and stood aside.
Wang Xuegang asked, "Brother Li, is there anything wrong with closing it?"
Li Kecheng then presented Li Zheng's whistleblower to Wang Xuegang, and presented the letter again. Wang Xuegang knew only a limited number of words, but half of this letter did not recognize, only glanced at it, put it on the table, frowned and said: "This Lanmei is rich and unkind, I have come here with the general, and asked him to donate salary, he only serves one thousand emperor yuan, the Black Stone Empire wants to occupy this place, I am afraid he will not even be able to save his life." Although there is no obvious reversal this time, it is difficult for him to escape the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, so did the next scholar capture it?"
Li Kecheng said: "This person fell in the Shouguang Inn in the city, and he has sent someone to monitor him. β
Wang Xuegang said: "Okay, don't let him get away." "Beat the drum and raise the tent as commanded. The soldiers immediately spread the word, and Li Kecheng also went to serve outside the big tent. The three-way drum was beaten, and the deputy officers of each battalion were all guarded, and they all went to the big tent to serve.
After a while, Wang Xue had just ascended the tent, the bow was wound, the knife was unsheathed, and the weather was strict. After he ascended to the throne, he ordered: "Deputy General Mao Wenkong listens to the order." β
A person flashed out from the side and said to him: "Humble duty!"
Wang Xuegang said: "You select a hundred horse teams, gallop to Shiwu Street, raid Lanmei, and escort them to the camp for trial." He also ordered Li Kecheng to go to the Shouguang Inn, capture the bookkeepers, and release the camp.
Mao Wenlong and Li Kecheng received the order and withdrew from the account. Mao Wenlong mobilized a team of 100 horses, led the team to Shiwu Street, and went to handle it according to the order. Li Kecheng still returned to Blue Lion City, selected twenty healthy soldiers and two right-hand men, asked Li Zheng to be eyeliner, and rushed to Shouguang Inn.
Far away from the door of the store, a plainclothes soldier sent earlier greeted him and reported to Li Kecheng, saying: "From the time I arrived at the door of the store, I monitored the customers entering and leaving, and now there are only those who have invested in the store, and there are no people who have left the store." β
Li Kecheng waved his hand, and the soldiers retreated. Li Kecheng then ordered the soldiers he brought to surround the inn with 12 generals and prohibit him from entering and leaving, and he himself brought a general and eight soldiers to enter the store with Li Zheng.
The shopkeepers, when they saw that a military attachΓ©, a general, and a person dressed in a small costume suddenly came in, and eight officers and soldiers with cross-waist swords supported the military attache in two lines, and the door of the store was also guarded by officers and soldiers. The shopkeepers immediately panicked, and hurried to the cabinet room to greet the shopkeeper and the gentleman in charge of the account to come and see, and the rest of the shopkeepers and the guests in the courtyard did not know what was going on, and they were so frightened that they did not know what to do.
Li Kecheng shouted to the shopkeeper standing in the aisle: "The shopkeeper doesn't need to be so alarmed! Today, the Blue Lion City has mixed in with spies, and there is an eyeliner to report to me, saying that he lives in your store." A couple of new guests stayed today, be honest!"
The shopkeeper came out of the cabinet room, greeted Li Kecheng with a smile on his face, stood aside, and said, "Talk back to adults, the small shop is a time-honored brand for more than 20 years." Traditionally, business has been done according to the rules, and all the names and origins of all guests staying in the hotel are in the store book for inspection on the ground. As he spoke, he handed over a blue-skinned and red-signed shop book.
Li Kecheng took it and opened it to see that there was only one new guest today, Li Chengfeng, a native of Ziyun City.
Li Kecheng said secretly: "Could it be that you deliberately changed your name and surname to cover people's eyes?" glanced at Li Zheng, quite inquiring, and saw that Li Zheng secretly bowed his head, and asked the shopkeeper: "You opened this store, what is your surname?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly replied: "The villain's surname is Zhao, and his name is Zhao Zeqi!"
Li Kecheng said: "If you don't have any rules for trading, I can't control you." But now, according to the secret report of eyeliner, there is a spy who has infiltrated the blue lion and landed in your store, and I am ordered to investigate. As long as you happily catch the spies, I will be very sympathetic, and when you talk to the military gate, you will be clean. But if you leak the news and try to sell it for money, you can watch out for your head!
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he bowed down and replied, "Yes, yes." β
Li Kecheng glanced at the courtyard, and at this time, the guests in the courtyard were all afraid that things would get into trouble, so they all quietly slipped back to the house.
Li Kecheng said sharply to the shopkeeper: "The new guests are all staying in that room?"
The shopkeeper replied, "The surname Li lives in South No. 7. β
Li Kecheng said casually: "Check the store!"
The general and eight soldiers replied in unison: "Yes!" immediately rushed into the store, Li Kecheng followed inside, and the shopkeeper Zhao Zeqi followed closely behind, Li Kecheng said: "Check from the south room first." β
The shopkeeper grabbed a few steps to the door of the South No. 1 room, opened the air door, and said loudly: "Check the store." As soon as he retreated, two soldiers pulled out their waist knives and walked into the north room. Li Kecheng took the store book and interrogated the guests, and after the interrogation, he searched the luggage and clothes again, and there was nothing suspicious, and he checked the second room again.
Li Kecheng was afraid that he would go straight to the South No. 7 surnamed Li, and it would be easy to surprise him by doing the errand, so he deliberately calmed down and checked other guest rooms first. rushed to find Nan No. 7 one by one, and Li Zheng, the eyeliner, also slipped over from behind and stood behind Li Kecheng. The shopkeeper pulled the door of No. 7 South as soon as the guests in the house were already standing at the door. Li Kecheng looked at the person standing at the door, that is, he was in his twenties, with an ordinary appearance, dressed in dark clothes, and his long hair fluttering at will, and he was heroic in his elegance.
Li Kecheng asked sharply: "What is your surname, what is your name, and where are you from?"
This person replied unhurriedly: "The surname is Li, the name is Chengfeng, and he is originally from Ziyun City. β
Li Zheng said behind Li Kecheng's back: "My lord, don't tell him to go, it's him." β
Li Kecheng turned his head slightly and said, "Don't talk too much, I know." He asked Li Chengfeng, "What are you doing in Blue Lion City?"
Li Chengfeng replied, "Visit a friend." β
Li Kecheng sneered: "This friend of yours is probably Walan, right?"
Li Chengfeng couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Not bad!"
Li Kecheng's face sank, and he asked sharply: "Okay, you thief, you dare to change your name and surname, and tease your own official! You are from Blackwater City, you know when the Blackstone army will take my Blue Lion City, right?"
Li Chengfeng's face changed, and he replied with an angry face: "I don't understand what the adults say, I am law-abiding, and the enemy army will take the Blue Lion City and not the Blue Lion City, how will I know!"
Li Kecheng said: "You don't have to argue, did you lose something when you entered Blue Lion City?"
Li Chengfeng hurriedly replied, "Did you capture the thief?"
Li Kecheng said: "What does it matter to you if a thief is not a thief?"
Li Chengfeng said: "I came to the Blue Lion City, I had to pass the inspection of the officers and soldiers stationed on the customs, there were many people, I was careless, I was stolen by thieves and stole a small bag and five hundred emperor yuan, my brother surnamed Zhan has already recovered the small bag, but I accidentally lost it." Losing money is a trivial matter, and a letter brought to people in a paper bag is lost and has no face to go back. If only the adults had already received the 500 emperor dollars and rewarded them, I would be grateful! It would be even better if you knew the whereabouts of my brother Zhan. β
Li Kecheng smiled and asked, "What are the words on your envelope?"
Li Chengfeng said: "What is written on it is: Blue Plum Harvest on Shiwu Street in Blue Lion City." β
Li Kecheng shouted: "Lock it for me!"
