Chapter 231: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

Add more, ask for a monthly pass.

……

"yes, what the hell is going on?" Master Ji Er also asked.

"A few days ago, the guard received a secret report that there would be bandits in the Eagle Jumping Gorge to rob the grain and grass transported to the border pass." Qi Younian nodded, signaled everyone not to worry, and then briefly explained the reason for the matter.

After Ren Anwei got the secret report, Qi Younian didn't dare to slack off. He personally led his troops to the Eagle Jumping Gorge at the junction of Ren'an Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion and arranged an ambush.

The grain and grass cart walked to the Eagle Jumping Gorge, and sure enough, there were bandits to intercept it, but he didn't expect the praying mantis to catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind, but he was ambushed by Qi Younian.

Most of the bandits who robbed the grain and grass were wiped out, and a small number fled, and the grain and grass transported to the border pass were not lost at all, so the original men and horses continued to transport the grain and grass to the border pass. And Qi Younian knew that there were people in the grain transportation team who colluded with the bandits, so he left some of the officers and soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and he personally led people to hunt down the thieves.

It was the thief who reported the news that the bandits could accurately know the route of transporting grain and the time when the eagle jumped over the gorge. At least the thief was too confident, thinking that the grain and grass would be robbed after the Eagle Jumping Gorge, and there would be no survivors, so he was not greedy enough and returned to Qingyuan, planning to get another batch of grain and grass. Qi Younian brought all the details with him, and finally talked about the official who came back to report the news.

"It's unreasonable to have such a thing!" Qi Younian's voice landed, and Xie Zhixian had already turned on his face and said indignantly.

"The evidence is overwhelming." Contrary to Xie Zhixian's excitement, Qi Younian just said lightly.

The truth of the matter is that the officers and soldiers of the Ren Security Guard Station protected the grain and grass, but the officials who came back to report the news said that all the grain and grass had been robbed. Based on this alone, it can be concluded that the official has a big problem.

"I'm really ashamed, and the lower officials didn't notice it for a while. I almost fell for the thief. Xie Zhixian said again.

"It's no wonder that Master Xie. Who would have thought that thieves would have such a big courage to hide from the world. And the official is Lord Xie's confidant, and his words, Lord Xie naturally believes it. Qi Younian said.

"It's because I know that the border is in an emergency, and there is a shortage of food and grass, so I'm too anxious." Qi Younian said. Xie Zhixian seemed to be even more embarrassed. "The officials who were selected to escort the grain and grass were all very shrewd and capable in ordinary times. The lower officials didn't dare to say that they had a clean breeze on their sleeves, but they were not selfish. The ancient surname is the officer. is not a confidant of the lower officials, but he usually runs errands very safely, and I really didn't expect him to collude with thieves earlier. ”

"In any case, the lower officials are really guilty of negligence." Xie Zhixian had already stood up. Speaking of which, he saluted Qi Younian again.

"Master Xie doesn't have to be like this. One qiē and so on to get the yagong. I'll talk about it after the interrogation. Qi Younian waved his hand and said.

"That's what Lord Qi said." Xie Zhixian nodded hurriedly.

Ji Xiaotang also nodded secretly on the side. Yes, you have to wait until you get that official to make a decision. Being able to take on the errand of coming back to report the news, the status of that official among the bandits is obviously not ordinary. If you hold him and pry his mouth open, it will be different.

It's just that when Qi Younian came here, he said that he had sent people to the county government to arrest people at the same time. But until now, no news has come. Something seems wrong.

This person. Did you catch it?

If she was right, the servants and the people who robbed the grain and grass were the ones who killed the wolves. Thinking about the consistent way of killing wolves, Ji Xiaotang can't help but worry.

And at this moment, Ji Xiaotang is obviously not the only one in the room who is worried. Second Master Ji's brows were always slightly furrowed, and Xie Zhixian didn't seem to want to hide the worried expression on his face at all.

Only Qi Younian is calm, and he has the demeanor of a general who does not change color before the collapse of Mount Tai.

While waiting, Qi Younian asked Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang about the situation of the victims in Qingyuan County. As soon as the second master Ji said a few words, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then a pro-soldier colonel came in, and he didn't know what to say in a low voice in Qi Younian's ear.

Qi Younian immediately got up and said goodbye to Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang, saying that he was going to the county office.

"Please also ask Lord Xie to come with me." Qi Younian said, but he never mentioned whether he had caught the ancient surname.

He didn't say it, Xie Zhixian didn't even want to ask for a while, so he could only nod.

"Later, Younian will come back to disturb Master Ji." Before going out with Xie Zhixian, Qi Younian said again, but his eyes happened to fall on Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang immediately understood.

Second Master Ji took Ji Xiaotang to send the two of them to the door, and when they saw that the people were gone, they turned back to the study.

Knowing that the grain and grass transported to the north and the people who escorted the grain and grass were safe, but sitting down in the study, there was no relief on the face of the second master Ji.

"Xiaotang, you Uncle Xie, there is really a problem."

This is not the first time that Second Master Ji has been suspicious of Xie Ziqian, but it is also the first time that Second Master Ji has declared this kind of thought. What does it mean for Second Master Ji to do this, no one knows better than Ji Xiaotang.

With the same idea as Ji Er's thoughts, Ji Xiaotang's last bit of illusion about Xie Zhixian was also shattered.

"Uncle Xie has always been cautious, but this time he believed the words of a servant and came to urge food without any confirmation. Uncle Xie should be raising food and grass for the thieves, and at the same time, he also wants to drive our Ji family into a corner. Ji Xiaotang nodded and said.

Second Master Ji nodded.

"This is called knowing the person, knowing the face, not knowing the heart. I have been with him for many years, but he has been hiding from him. ”

"Daddy, perhaps, when Uncle Xie first met you, he had another purpose. He was fond of his dad and acted in front of us all the time. ”

If that's really the case, Xie Ziqian must be not small, and Xie Ziqian is too patient and good at acting.

"If that's the case, it's really hateful and terrible." Second Master Ji was obviously awakened by Ji Xiaotang's words, and recalled the experience of him and Xie Ziqian getting to know and intersecting, and couldn't help but feel creepy.

Ji Xiaotang actually thought deeply that what Ji Er said was hateful and terrifying. In their previous lives, they had never seen through Xie Zhixian's true face.

"I don't know if Ayou's people have caught the official who reported the news." Ji Xiaotang glanced out of the door, slightly uneasy.

"There's no news yet, I'm afraid it's not optimistic." Ji Er said.

And the development of things is just as the second master Ji was worried about.

Qi Younian came to Ji Mansion again, and it was already an hour later. Qi Younian's face was still full of wind and frost, blood-stained robes, and although his expression was still calm, the corners of his mouth were slightly tense.

welcomed Qi Younian to the study and sat down, even if he was anxious to know the progress of the matter, Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang did not ask Qi Younian first.

Ji Xiaotang first asked someone to bring a basin and let Qi Younian wash up. Qi Younian didn't say anything polite to the Ji family's father and daughter, after he washed up, he borrowed the quiet room behind the study and changed into a clean robe, and then came out again and talked to Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang.

"Can the official with the ancient surname catch him alive?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"The officer is dead." Qi Younian sued Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang. At that time, he brought people into Qingyuan County, knowing that Xie Zhi County was in the Ji family, he only brought a few people to the Ji family, and sent his cronies to the county government to find the ancient surname.

The soldiers quickly found the official with the ancient surname, but the official was very alert, and when he saw someone coming, he immediately knew that something was wrong, and desperately tried to escape.

As Ji Xiaotang thought, those who can take on such an important errand must not be idle. The official with the ancient surname was actually a good kung fu, and resisted desperately, and finally the official soldier died here and injured two, although the official with the ancient surname was caught, but he still committed suicide.

"I was supposed to guard against him, but it was still a little bit worse." is such a key figure, but he still hasn't caught it alive, Qi Younian's mood will naturally not be good.

When a person dies, the clue is broken again.

"How's the battle going in Eagle Jump Gorge?" Ji Xiaotang understood in her heart, paused slightly, put down the topic, and asked another thing that she was very concerned about.

Speaking of Eagle Jumping Gorge, Qi Younian's face was slightly brighter.

"Thanks to Xiaotang's timely letter." Qi Younian smiled and arched his hand to Ji Xiaotang.

At that time, Ji Xiaotang lent Mu Hong and Shen the opportunity to write a letter of peace, conveying her suspicions about Xie Zhixian and her worries that the grain and grass would be robbed to Qi Younian. Because what Ji Xiaotang said is reasonable and well-founded, Qi Younian will naturally not ignore it. He immediately sent someone to secretly track and probe the convoy escorting grain and grass, and soon discovered that something was wrong.

Among the people who escorted the grain and grass, someone secretly reported the news with a mysterious person. Qi Younian immediately concluded that someone really wanted to rob this batch of grain and grass.

And to rob this batch of grain and grass, the best time is at the junction of Ren'an Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion, and the eagle jumps into the gorge.

With that in mind, the rest is much easier.

Qi Younian led people to set up an ambush in the Eagle Jumping Gorge, and killed the wolf and the thief, and a praying mantis caught the cicada and the yellow finch behind.

"This great victory not only depends on Xiaotang's timely delivery of the letter, but also Master Li's efforts." Qi Younian told the second master Ji and Ji Xiaotang again.

For the transportation of grain and grass this time, the Ji family not only sent many husbands, but also arranged for Master Li and Master Quan to escort them all the way with some nursing homes. The three martial artists of the Ji family, as well as another master Zeng, were sent to be the personal guards of Master Ji San, and followed Master Ji San to the sea.

"That'...... Master Quan? Second Master Ji asked.

"As Xiaotang and Master Ji expected, Master Quan is also the eyeliner of the other party." The one who secretly contacted the mysterious person was Master Quan. Master Quan had a lot of kung fu, which made it very difficult for the people sent by Qi Younian to follow him at that time.

"Hey." Second Master Ji couldn't help but sigh.

Because Master Zeng went to sea with Master Ji San, the two martial artists in the family sent one to escort the grain and grass, leaving one to sit at home, which was the best arrangement. But Ji Xiaotang made the decision and sent Master Li and Master Quan out.

What Ji Xiaotang used was a plan to lure the snake out of the hole.
