Chapter 62: Taishou
Mo Ziyu and the others did not stay in the inn again, but found a simple house at random, gave the host's family some silver taels, and stayed overnight temporarily.
It was only in the middle of the night that they were woken up by the commotion coming from outside.
I saw that the homestay where they were staying was surrounded, and there were officers and soldiers outside.
"What's going on?" Mo Ziyu asked with a frown, "as if a pair of eyes were staring at us." ”
Situ Jiexing saw that this formation was not quite right, and as soon as his eyes turned, he used his superb light skills to leave first, and before leaving, he did not forget to say: "Don't worry, when I get out of danger, I will definitely come to save you!"
Mo Ziyu looked at Qing Ling's movements, as if he wanted to summon the secret guard, and said: "Outside are the officers and soldiers of Nanchu, it is inconvenient for the secret guard to show up, if it hurts people, it is a problem between the two countries, let them stay still for the time being, let's see what is going on first?"
"Yes. Qing Ling nodded.
Qin Yi opened the door, and Mo Ziyu came out.
The officers and soldiers outside drew their swords and greeted each other.
Mo Ziyu glanced at everyone and asked in a cold voice: "Dare to ask you, what did we do, and you want to make such a big move?"
The officers and men parted a way, only to see a fat-headed and big-eared general soldier walking up and shouting: "Bold thief, you have done all kinds of evil, and now you dare to ask you what you have committed! You have been surrounded by regiments, and it is difficult to fly, so those who know each other should surrender quickly, otherwise you will look good!"
"We just arrived here, why did we do all kinds of evil?" Mo Ziyu sneered, "Please explain, what evil have we done?"
"Hehe!" the man snorted, "Don't talk nonsense, I said that if you do evil, you will do evil, and if you don't surrender, don't blame me for being polite!"
At this moment, Qin Yi's long sword came out of its sheath, and a cold light swept through, and the long sword in his hand fell on the man's neck.
The man was immediately frightened and bloodless, stiffened his body to make amends, and said with a smile: "The little one is also acting on orders, the hero raises his noble hand, and his subordinates are merciful!"
"Whose order?" Mo Ziyu asked in a cold voice.
"This ...... In the name of Taishou, the Jiangyang thieves who lived here were arrested and brought to justice. The chief soldier smiled, "Hero, there is an eighty-year-old mother on the old man, and there is a child waiting to be fed, spare your life!"
"Taishou?" Mo Ziyu's eyes narrowed slightly, "The dignified Taishou, how can he go so far to arrest us?" It seems that we are going to find out, what grievances does this Taishou have with us!"
"Qingling, you guard him and tell everyone here not to move. Mo Ziyu said, "I'll go with Qin Yi to check it out!"
"Yes. ”
Then Mo Ziyu and Qin Yi immediately acted and came to the Taishou Mansion, Qin Yi climbed over the wall, knocked out the guards, opened the back door for Mo Ziyu, and then grabbed a maid and asked Cai Jing's current position.
Bright lights, melodious tunes, and delicate laughter came out of the material, and I thought that this Taishou was still singing and dancing.
Mo Ziyu and Qin Yi approached the surroundings, only to see two dancing girls in red coming over......
Although it was the height of summer, there was indeed a chill in the room, and it turned out that there were ice cubes stored in the four corners of the room, and it seemed that this Taishou was the one who would enjoy it.
Inside, several well-dressed men were drinking, and Taishou Cai Jing sat with a young man at the top, accompanied by several local officials below.
The door was opened, and several dancers wearing red dance clothes and red scarves rushed in, they did not dance, they must have already performed, and then no one found a man to accompany the drink.
Mo Ziyu and Qin Yi also mixed in, only to see Mo Ziyu quickly squeeze away a man who wanted to go to Taishou's side, she went over and poured wine for the Taishou, and at the same time, Qin Yi was also with the young man.
The two of them were talking, and they didn't seem to notice that there were two more people around them, or that the two dancing girls didn't even know they were paying attention.
"Can Taishou-sama solve the matter I asked?" the young man asked.
Tai Shou Na laughed, touched his beard, and said with a smile: "Zhao Gongzi rest assured, I have already sent someone to arrest Jiang Liu, I will treat them as Jiang Yang thieves who are being arrested in the city, put them on death row, and then extort a confession by words and deeds, she can't stand the punishment and commit suicide. ”
"I believe in Taishou's ability, don't let me down!" that Zhao Gongzi smiled with satisfaction.
"I don't know what kind of festival Jiang Liu and Zhao Gongzi have, is it difficult for Zhao Gongzi to take this trip in person?" Tai Shou asked with a smile.
Zhao Gongzi sighed: "Because of the Lord of Leyi." ”
"Lord Leyi?" Cai Jingleng paused, "I vaguely heard something, Lord Leyi's death has something to do with Jiang Liu, and Gongzi wants to avenge Lord Leyi?"
"Definitely, the relationship between us and the county lord of Leyi is just a relationship of mutual use, she is dead when she dies, who will avenge her?" Zhao Gongzi took a sip of wine and sighed, "These scholars in the south of us have pressed their hopes on the county lord of Leyi, as soon as this woman dies, we will be in chaos, and the little emperor has some means, and after he has dealt with external affairs, it is time to deal with us!" If the county lord of Leyi hadn't had an accident, my sister might have been the queen of Southern Chu, how could Mi Zi marry Western Wei?"
He is a member of the Zhao family, the largest wealthy family in Southern Chu? Could it be that even Taishou is so stammering.
Mo Ziyu's brows furrowed slightly, Qi Zi was actually going to marry Western Wei? He said last time that he was going to get married, it turned out that it was not nonsense, it was that he was really going to be the queen, but he didn't expect that Nan Chu would actually marry Western Wei!
If Southern Chu formed an alliance with Western Wei, it would be an absolute threat to Northern Xia, and I don't know how Northern Xia would deal with it?
Zhao Gongzi's eyebrows showed some ruthlessness, and he said coldly: "You don't know, that Jiang Liu is Mi Zi's sweetheart, since Mi Zi wants to fight with us, I naturally want to give him a gift so that he will be heartbroken!"
"I see. Cai Jing nodded and said, "This little king is indeed a ruthless master, if you don't teach some lessons, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to deal with in the future!"
"All in all, get rid of Jiang Liu first. Zhao Gongzi said, "If you handle this matter well, you will naturally not be able to find your benefits!"
"Then I have thanked Zhao Gongzi in advance!"
As he spoke, he saw that the door was opened, and everyone looked out in astonishment.
Mo Ziyu also glanced out in surprise, only to see the head catcher Qiu Ming who he had seen during the day quickly step inside, stepped forward with a calm face, and said with a righteous face: "My lord, those Jiangyang thieves already have clues, I don't know why the adults sent all the available people out?"
"The official told them to arrest the others!" Taishou said lightly.
"My lord, these Jiangyang thieves have finally appeared, if they are not arrested, I am afraid that it will not be easy to find them next time, and they will continue to endanger the people. Qiu Ming's stubbornness said, "The subordinates know that the adult is asking everyone to arrest the group of people in the inn during the day, I have inquired, they are indeed only here today, and there is no suspicion of committing a crime, the adult still withdraws the people, it is important to arrest the real Jiangyang thief, if it is late, it will be too late!"
Being lectured by his subordinates in public, Cai Jing's face was not good-looking, he coughed, and snorted coldly: "Isn't this official better than you about who to arrest and who should not be arrested? The people who this official asked them to arrest are naturally people who are more dangerous to Nanchu, as for those Jiangyang thieves, they will be arrested another day, what are you anxious about! Stand down, don't disturb your lordship's Yaxing!"
"My lord!" Qiu Ming clenched his fists, "Please put the safety of the people first!"
"Presumptuous!" Cai Jing scolded, "What kind of thing do you think you are, dare to command your own official to do things? You are a little head catcher, and you really take yourself seriously? Believe it or not, I will let you take off this skin now?"
Qiu Ming sneered and glanced at everyone: "With you, I, Qiu Ming, am not ashamed!"
As he spoke, he threw his waist card to the ground, smiling coldly and unremittingly.
"Bold!" Cai Jing stood up angrily, "Qiu Ming, you dare to talk to me like this, you are impatient!"
He stood up in a hurry and knocked over the wine glass in Mo Ziyu's hand, and the wine immediately spilled on his body.
"Slut!" When Cai Jing was about to slap him, Mo Ziyu took half a step back, dodged, and smiled lightly, "My lord is angry!"
"You! you!" Cai Jing was disgraced, his face turned red with anger, and he hurriedly shouted, "Come on! Take down the two of them!"
It's just that no one has entered.
Mo Ziyu smiled lightly: "The adults forgot about you, but everyone was transferred by you to arrest Jiang Liu!"
"Who are you?" Cai Jinghu glanced at Mo Ziyu suspiciously.
"Me?" Mo Ziyu gently removed the veil, "Am I not the person you want to catch?"
"Ah, it's you!" Cai Jing was shocked, "Why are you here?" Qiu Ming, take her down, hurry up and take her down!"
Qiu Ming looked at him coldly: "I'm no longer your subordinate!"
Zhao Gongzi saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly prepared to leave.
It's just that just when he was about to stand up, his hand that had been carrying the cold had already pinched his neck, and a cold voice sounded in his ears: "Don't move, don't want your neck to be broken in two." ”
"Who are you?" Zhao Gongzi asked in a trembling voice, not daring to move.
"It's not about you. Qin Yi said coldly.
Mo Ziyu looked at Cai Jing and sneered: "Mizi has a minister like you, and it's also bad luck!"
