When the car entered the camp, he saw a watchtower standing next to the camp gate, and soldiers were looking out on it. On the front is a large tent, in front of which stood twenty sharpeners and twenty archers. The knife sharpener is a thick-backed ghost-headed knife, and the archer is a back-carved bow and cross-quiver, all of whom are under the age of thirty, and all of them are fierce and vigorous. The wings of the geese were lined up, and there were two military attachés, standing next to the big tent. The big tent runs from south to north, every five zhang, and is a small tent. Outside each tent, there was a weapon rack, and every ten racks of weapons were the same blades. In front of the first ten tents were one-colored spears, bright red spears, and in front of the big tent were four wind lanterns, and the lamps were flat red official titles. In front of each small tent was a white paper lantern, tied to a five-foot-high wooden stake, and every ten small tents there was a large tent.

Li Chengfeng's car went south a stone's throw and stopped in front of a tent, from which a commander came out.

Li Kecheng took two steps closely, asked the commander for an answer, reported the arrest of Li Chengfeng, and then asked for instructions on where the errand was kept? Li Kecheng ordered the soldiers to take Li Chengfeng off the car and escorted him into the tent with Li Zheng.

Li Chengfeng was escorted into the tent, only to see that this tent was originally the sleeping tent of Lu Commander, and it was very wide inside, with beds, tents, tables and chairs, all of which were complete. There was a long wooden bench at the door of the tent, and the soldiers told Li Chengfeng to sit on the stool.

In this situation, Li Zheng felt quite cramped and uneasy, as if there was no place to put his arms and legs. Commander Lu sent two soldiers to guard the door of the tent, and then said to Li Kecheng: "Brother is waiting here, I'll go up and talk back, see how the military gate is distributed, brother, okay?"

Li Kecheng hurriedly smiled and said: "My lord, this is taking care of my humble duties, so please work hard." ”

Lu Commander said: "You're welcome, I'll come when I go." ”

Commander Lu went straight to the big tent to reply. It didn't take much time to go, so he came in from the outside and said to Li Kecheng: "The military gate ordered me to come down, tell my brother to go back to Blue Lion City, and step up the investigation." This time, the brother has made a meritorious contribution to the case, and when the main culprit Lan Mei is brought to trial, there will be another reward. If he is willing to serve the country, he can make up an errand for him to reward meritorious service, if he is not willing to be an errand, he can reward him with more emperor yuan and send him away. ”

Li Kecheng agreed repeatedly, and asked Commander Lu again: "The military gate will not try this case first?"

Commander Lu nodded and said: "Now we will not try it first, the military gate is waiting for Deputy General Mao to come back, pass on the whole case, and interrogate it together." Li Kecheng said goodbye to Commander Lu and took Li Zheng back to Tongguan.

At this time, the sky was dark, and candles were lit in the tent, and the outside of the tent was only by the light of a pair of wind lamps at the door of the tent, and the appearance of the soldiers was slightly distinguished.

After sinking for a moment, a soldier brought three steamed buns, put them in front of Li Chengfeng, and said: "Fellow, this is the grace of the commander! ”

Li Chengfeng had no choice but to say, "Thank you, Commander." "I didn't want to learn from the boneless people on the road, when I encountered something, I couldn't eat or drink it immediately, so I looked at it as if it was a bag, so I reached out and picked up a steamed bun, and ate two bites generously, but I didn't know that the steamed bun came to my mouth, and I turned it slowly, and my throat and eyes seemed to be blocked by something, and I couldn't swallow it, and I coughed, so I put the steamed bun down. Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves trampling, from far and near, and it became more real after a while.

Li Chengfeng was sitting at the door of the tent, and he could see the wooden fence to the north. As soon as Li Chengfeng carefully identified this sound, the noise of the horses was mixed with the sound of chariots, so he quietly moved the wooden bench sitting under him out. When I looked north, I saw a line of white horses rushing along the wooden fence wall, and every four or five horses, there must be a torch, which looked like a fire dragon from a distance. Dozens of white horses passed, followed by four sedans, and on each of them, the soldiers who straddled the side of the carriage also carried a torch.

In an instant, the horse team in the head had rushed into the camp. At this time, it was even more real, and the horse team entered the camp gate, and divided to both sides, making way in the middle. Then all four cars rushed in. The soldiers on the horses, half pikemen and half archers, the pikemen with the barrels of their guns flat and the tips of their spears facing each other, and the archers with their buckles and strings, were unusually guarded against the four chariots. Behind him was a troop of variegated horses, all in plain clothes, each with a sword and an iron ruler in his hand. It was followed by three more horses, followed by a civil official of the seventh rank. These horse teams all entered the camp, and the four guards behind them were surrounded by a military attaché, who was the deputy general Mao Wenlong. Mao Wenlong turned over and dismounted, and ran straight to the back tent, Li Chengfeng looked behind him again, and he couldn't see it.

After a while, Mao Wenlong came back from the back and ordered a few words to the leader of his subordinates, and with an order, more than 100 horse teams all turned over and dismounted, and more than 20 torches lined up in about four cars. The horses were led by the grooms of the other battalions, and the pikemen circled the cart to the left and right, and in the midst of the fireworks, they saw the bright red tassels of the spear, and the sharp tips of the spears were all over the chariot.

Two tall and powerful soldiers passed in front of each car and lifted the prisoners off the car. I saw a person in the first car, about fifty years old, with a thin figure, white skin, and a very righteous spirit, with a bare head, top and wrist with torture instruments.

The second car put down two teenagers, a middle-aged man and a seventy-year-old man. The old man was dressed like a servant. Two teenagers, one in his twenties and the other in his fifteen or sixteen. The middle-aged man was dressed as a literati, reflecting the flickering torches, his face was pale, and he couldn't help trembling, and the old man who looked like a servant looked natural, as if nothing had happened.

A total of seven women came down from the third and fourth cars, except for the women, who were not wearing torture equipment, and all the men were all locked with iron locks. After getting out of the car, they were watched by the captain gunman and escorted into the back tent.

Li Chengfeng had already understood that this must be the arrest of Lan Mei's family, who was a friend of his father's troubles, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly: This Lan Mei Lan uncle is sitting at home, and disaster has fallen from the sky! Pushing the source of the disaster, he always blames himself for being too careless, and when he entered the Blue Lion City, he was stolen and stolen letters, which caused this catastrophe! Fortunately, Uncle Wang Zhong had followed him here, and when he left the inn, he signaled to me, obviously because he was afraid that I would not give in, make deviant actions, and cause other trouble. Although he will be able to rescue us when he arrives, he always feels faceless to see his father and Uncle Lan.

Li Chengfeng was remorseful, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he suddenly heard the sound of the drums, which was even more deafening in the night.

After the three-way drum was beaten, Li Chengfeng saw a few military attachés passing in front of the tent, and the left and right places of the tent were also the sound of sand on the soles of his boots, and there were the footsteps of twenty or thirty people. But only the sound of footsteps was heard, and no one spoke. The commander of the land in the tent also changed his official uniform and said to the guards in the tent: "The military gate is raised, you take a good look at the errand, if there is any negligence, be careful of your heads!"

The guards replied in unison, "Yes." Commander Lu walked out of the tent.

It didn't take much time, and suddenly I heard a loud voice outside the tent door, and shouted: "Mention the scholar Li Chengfeng." ”

The guards guarding the tent replied, "Yes!" When he hurried out of the tent to look, he saw that it was Mao Wenlong, a Chinese officer.
