Chapter 95: The Enemy Meets
Cao Miao walked out of the inner gate, walked across the street, stood in the shadow under the inner wall, watched the school block the intersection, searched Zhong Tai and Guan Jun's house, but he was not happy at all.
This was not the scenario he had envisioned.
The source of the rumors has been found, as long as Zhong Tai's confession can be obtained, Yin Mo will definitely be able to turn this case into an iron case. But Zhong Tai is just a pawn on the table, the real black hand is not even injured, and he is still hiding behind the scenes and sneering.
Including the Tai Changqing who seemed to have nothing to do with the case, but laughed at Zhong Tai's thirty horses of Shu brocade.
If it weren't for the preparation of a generous gift for him, Zhong Tai would not have fallen to this point.
Does this matter have anything to do with Taifu Zhongxuan? Cao Miao was puzzled, but he didn't dare to conclude. He knew that it was too coincidental that Zhong Tae had been promoted to lieutenant of the assistant lieutenant at this time, but he was not familiar with the process of appointing officials and could not determine who was behind the trouble.
However, even if he can figure out these processes, he may not be able to catch the real black hand. These people have worked hard in officialdom all their lives, and they have long become elites. What they want to do, as long as they reveal a little meaning, someone will naturally do it, and they will not be stupid enough to end up in person and leave a handle, it is too difficult to get real evidence.
What to do? Cao Miao was at a loss for a while, and her mood was indescribably anxious.
"Prince." Qingtao suddenly tugged at Cao Miao's sleeve and looked into the distance. Cao Miao followed her gaze and looked forward, only to see a carriage parked on the opposite side, less than a hundred steps away from the school officials who were closing the road. There were more than a dozen men standing next to the carriage, all wearing official uniforms, wearing long knives at their waists, holding halberds and shields in their hands, looking vigilantly and looking around.
"Which government office is this?"
"It seems to be the halberd of the holding of Jingo." Qingtao looked uneasy. "Today is not the day when Zhijinwu patrols the city, how can Zhijin appear here? Whose house is on fire? ”
Cao Miao couldn't cry or laugh. This is a civilian area, unless it is burned into pieces and threatens the powerful area, Zhi Jinwu will not care about it at all. Even if someone's house is on fire and the halberd rushes to put out the fire, they should rush to the fire, where they will stand here, unless they are waiting for the fire to start.
Waiting for the fire to start? Cao Miao's heart suddenly moved, and then he looked at the other side. He immediately called Ah Hu and confessed a few words in his ear. Ah Hu listened, crossed the road, and went straight to the school. A team fortified at the intersection listened to Ah Hu's relay, rushed to the main road, glanced at the halberd in the distance, and immediately took action, shrinking the team into the inner gate, and at the same time sent people to Zhong Tai's house to report to Yin Mo.
The halberd in the distance also saw the movement here and reported the situation to the people in the car. After a while, they lined up in a neat line, waited for the carriage, and hurried to this side, stopping in front of the inner gate.
A middle-aged official got out of the car, tidied up his official uniform, and showed the official document to Li Zheng, who rushed over, and didn't know what to say. Li Zheng opened the gate, and the halberd fish entered, and then took control of the inner door.
Cao Miao sneered in her heart. Yin Mo is well prepared, he brings enough people, he really has to be rough, these halberds are not enough to see.
After a while, a school official pressed the knife and ran over to convey Yin Mo's thanks to Cao Miao. They were searching, and the halberd of Zhijinwu's subordinates suddenly arrived, saying that someone had called the police, and they rushed to put out the fire, demanding that all the homes in the whole mile be sealed off, and no one should be allowed to tamper. Fortunately, Yin Mo received Cao Miao's warning, made preparations in advance, and surrounded Zhong Tai and Guan Jun's house, so that he did not let the halberd rush in.
At the moment, the two sides are facing each other, but the school officials have a numerical advantage, and the halberd cannot take advantage of it. By the time their reinforcements arrive, the school should be searched. After all, Zhong Tai's family and Guan Jun's family are so poor that there is nothing to search.
"Who's leading the team?"
"A small person, not worth mentioning."
"Please ask Captain Yin to ask his name and leave evidence, especially to find out who called the police."
The school was stunned for a moment, his eyes were a little unhappy, he reluctantly agreed, and turned around. Cao Miao saw it in her eyes and sneered secretly. It seems that Yin Mo has no respect for him, and he doesn't even take him seriously with his school affairs, but only treats him as an informant who provides information and asks for them.
The raid on Zhong Tai was fruitless, Cao Miao was originally in a bad mood, and being interrupted like this made him even more suffocated.
"Let's go, go home." Cao Miao said.
Zhishu brought the mount, Cao Miao stepped on the horse, shook the reins, and walked forward. Ah Hu and the others followed closely. A group of five horsemen, all of whom were fine horses, and among them were two red-haired and snow-skinned orchid knights with graceful figures, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Tsk, whose son is this?"
"Superb riding skills, it should be a gate."
"This orchid is so pretty."
"Hey, isn't that the mad dog of Yongqiu Palace?" In the midst of envy, an exclamation suddenly sounded. Cao Miao didn't take it seriously, but Qingtao glanced back, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and rushed to Cao Miao's side. "Prince, it's Gao Xun."
"Who?"
"Gao Xun, the one whose finger was bitten off by you."
"Huh-" Cao Miao reined in his mount, turned his horse's head, and swept his gaze, and saw the carriage parked on the side of the road and Gao Xun lying on the window. Looking at each other, Gao Xun's complexion changed greatly, and he immediately retracted and closed the window.
Cao Miao kicked the horse's belly lightly and came to the carriage. Two knights greeted Cao Miao and stopped Cao Miao from approaching. Cao Miao looked at the red official uniforms on their bodies and suddenly understood. These are the horsemen of the Adamant Guards, and like the halberds, they all come for a purpose. Gao Xun's appearance here is no accident.
Yin Mo can't do things, he can't even do basic secrecy, so he asks people to mobilize people and wait for the rabbit. If he only treats those halberds, he may have some advantages, but if he adds these horses, Yin Mo is afraid that he will die ugly today.
If there is no fear in the heart, it is easy to die.
"Gao Xun?" Cao Miao reined in his mount and raised his voice, "Do your fingers still hurt?" ”
There was silence in the carriage for a moment, and the sound of Gao Xun gritting his teeth was heard. "Thank you for your concern, and I will definitely repay it in the future."
"Why in the future? Why don't you just do it now? Cao Miao laughed loudly, and the laughter was presumptuous and unassuming, attracting many people to stop and watch. The dignified Chen Liugao's son, a famous man in Luoyang, one of the eight masters, don't you feel rude when you see the old man hiding in the carriage and not showing up? ”
Gao Xun protested: "Thanks to the prince's love, Xun doesn't dare to climb high." I don't have any friendship with the prince, so I can't be considered an old friend, and I don't see him. ”
"Hahaha......" Cao Miao laughed a few times, attracting countless eyes, and suddenly the laughter stopped, and he sneered: "You are still self-aware." What a bag, a group of waste, but relying on their family background, eating all day long, doing nothing, and touting each other stupidly. In the future, if you see Naigong, you will hide far away, don't let Naigong see it, or you will be beaten once you see it. ”
"Cao Miao, you waste, what is there to be arrogant?" Gao Xun pushed open the window, revealing his face distorted by hideousness. "Sun Yong has been dismissed, and the car will be sent to Tingwei, see how many days you can be proud."
