Chapter 367: True and False
The battle went on for about an hour before it subsided.
The bandits on the scalping gang were trapped on the top of the mountain, seeing that the defeat of the battle on the river was decided, they tried to break through, but they were unsuccessful in several attacks, but they were killed by Hu Zong and sent a few prisoners.
Looking at the word "Wei Yu" on the captive's face, Cao Miao and Mrs. Sun exchanged a look.
The ink is very new, it was only pierced in the last few days.
Cao Miao rubbed her hands and asked Mrs. Sun aside. "You trial? I review? ”
"You can judge it." Mrs. Sun smiled: "I also appreciate it, Lu Hong and the others are amazing, I have never believed it." ”
"Yes, but you'll have to cooperate with me."
"Okay."
Cao Miao returned to the captive, squatted down, patted the captive's face, and said in a Luoyang dialect: "Do you know me?" ”
The captive shuddered, his eyes widened, and he looked at Cao Miao suspiciously.
Cao Miao smiled. "It seems that you are not the leader. Can you tell your official position? Team rate, or what's long? ”
"Team rate." The captive swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Changfengli, Changfengli, Qingshan Township, Anyang County, Wei County, Shen Biao, the seventh song of the first battalion under the command of the former general Manzhong. You are...... The prince who defected? ”
"Hmm." Cao Miao turned her back to Mrs. Sun, took out the waist card of the school affairs office from her arms, and said in an almost whispered voice: "Do you know this?" ”
Shen Biao showed a look of surprise, and just as he was about to speak, Cao Miao put away his waist card, raised his fingers, and blocked his mouth. Shen Biao understood and nodded quietly, but tears welled up in his eyes.
"How many of you are there, and who is the leader?"
"I don't know exactly how many people there are, I only see more than thirty. The leader's surname is Ma, a subordinate of Wang Ling, the assassin of Qingzhou, who has never seen it before. ”
"After being captured, to whom were you assigned? What to do? ”
"We were assigned to a woman named Quan Da Niang, who was supposed to be Quan Cong's subordinates, who walked boats on the river, sometimes transporting goods, sometimes robbing. A few days he was suddenly summoned to train a new method of warfare, saying that after carrying out this mission, he could let us go. ”
"Do you know where that whole lady is?"
Shen Biao thought for a moment. "It should be nearby. The news was sent back and forth three times during the day, and the fastest one only took an hour and a half, which should not be too far, not more than ten miles at most. Shen Biao said, crying again. Prince, Aunt Nashen is not a person, you must catch her, otherwise our township party will be miserable. ”
"What township party?"
"When this whole lady picks people, she is looking for fellow villagers and even brothers, one to fight, and the other to hostage. If the mission fails, and we don't go back, the village party brothers who were hostages will be killed. ”
"Do you know about this?"
"I don't know, I've never seen Quan Cong, and after being captured, I have been under the control of Quan Da Niang, and I am not allowed to ask, guessing that it may be Quan Cong's subordinates."
Cao Miao understood and patted Shen Biao on the shoulder. "Stay in peace, I'll find a chance to save you."
Shen Biao nodded repeatedly. Cao Miao got up, returned to Mrs. Sun, and told Shen Biao about the situation. Mrs. Sun didn't care about the result, but was curious about how Cao Miao could pry Shen Biao's mouth open so smoothly. Cao Miao took out the waist card and lit it up in front of Mrs. Sun.
Mrs. Sun took it and looked at it, rubbed her fingers, and suddenly smiled. "Forged?"
Cao Miao also smiled. "When I was still in Yongqiu, there was a school official who went to assassinate me, I ambushed me, and I touched a waist card from him, so I ordered someone to copy a piece and keep it on my body for later use, I didn't expect it to be used today." He looked at Mrs. Sun curiously. "How do you know it's fake? I think I'm okay at this skill. ”
"I've seen the real thing, and there's more than one piece." She thought for a moment. "This Han Dong is likely to be in Wuchang now, you should be careful."
"Really?" Cao Miao was "shocked".
"Someone has seen him, lost him, wounded one, and died. This person is very shrewd and skilled, the people from the school affairs department are not his opponents, and he has run away several times, Lu Yi is very annoyed. ”
Cao Miao stomped his feet and said: "The road is narrow!" He appeared in Wuchang, probably coming at me. ”
"I think so too." Madame Sun couldn't help but laugh and picked up her helmet. "Let's go, go and catch Aunt Quan."
——
Mrs. Sun pounced.
Aunt Quan's boat is still there, but the person is missing. The spying soldier didn't know when or how she left. All they knew was that the ship had been parked nearby, and they hadn't even made contact with any of the ships, and no one had gotten on or off the boat.
Mrs. Sun was furious, her voice was so fierce that she almost drew a knife and slashed someone.
Cao Miao was very calm. He boarded the boat, looked inside and out, and finally stared at the lantern on the mast.
The lantern has been extinguished, but there is still a lot of oil in the lantern.
Mrs. Sun soon understood, and asked Xie Nubing when the lantern on the ship was extinguished, and if there were any ships nearby at that time. The soldiers immediately said that the lamp was extinguished half an hour ago, and they thought that the oil was gone, so they took it off and added oil, but they didn't expect it to be lit again. At that time, there was a ship nearby, coming from the direction of Huangniugang, but it did not stop, and sailed by, and it was about ten zhang away from it recently.
Mrs. Sun immediately ordered someone to investigate. During this time, the river was blocked, and all passing boats were registered, especially those near the Yellow Turban Gang.
Cao Miao was hopeless. If the ship had been watching from a distance and had not entered the zone of engagement, there would have been no patrol record. Aunt Quan arranged it so thoroughly, naturally she would not leave this flaw.
However, he is not in a hurry. Quan Da Niang has spent so much effort, invested dozens or even hundreds of parts, and made such a big battle, so naturally she will not give up easily. This time it didn't work, there must be a next time, there will always be a time to catch her, and it won't be too long.
"Who is this aunt? It's not like a manager, but like a thief, and his methods are ruthless enough. ”
Mrs. Sun glanced at Cao Miao, and after a while, she said reluctantly: "You're right, she was originally Shanyue, a real thief, and it is said that she is still a handsome." After the cottage was broken by Quan Cong, she surrendered with her clan, and Quan Cong saw that she was shrewd and capable, so he put her in charge of Xi Shi Fang. ”
"So, she still has a family under Quan Cong?"
Mrs. Sun frowned. "What, you still want to find Quan Cong's dignitaries, just based on the confessions of a few Wei captives, plus your judgment of the Wei State? Don't even think about it. Based on the current evidence, if we continue to investigate it, it will only cause extraneous branches and turn against some people's schemes. ”
"Who are some of the people you're talking about?"
"Those who want to turn Dawu into Dawu of Jiangdong people." Mrs. Sun sighed, looking helpless. "They can't wait to drive out all the outsiders, and all the power is in the hands of the Jiangdong people, preferably the Wujun people, and even the Huiji people are excluded."
