The soldiers of General Mo's Mansion chased on horseback, and finally intercepted those small stalls and vendors at the gate of Chang'an City, the carriage turned around, and drove towards the General's Mansion. Is something really wrong with the General's Mansion? At this moment, they can't get out of it, and it will be a luxury to return to Yunjin City today.

"No, aren't we going back to Yunjin City? Why did you turn around and go back to the General's Mansion again, and our things have been taken, is this what happened?" Zhao Dalang lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked them strangely, Chu Yue and the others also shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know at all, everyone looked at Aunt Gongsun, and Aunt Gongsun also waved her hand, "I'm also inexplicable?" What's going on with this General's Mansion? Aunt Gongsun actually knew what was going on, but she didn't want to tell Zhao Dalang about it, after all, one more person knew about it, and that person also had a potential danger, so it was better for them not to know.

The carriage galloped to the general's mansion, and the soldiers ordered the people of the carriage to come down, and entered the West Cross Courtyard from the small door on the side of the beast head gate, and the soldiers took them into an ear room in the West Cross Courtyard, and locked them from the outside, standing at the door and waiting, and the rest of the soldiers hurriedly went to the front yard to inform the Qinglong general.

Those stall vendors were inexplicably pushed into the ear room and locked up, each of them made noise as if they had exploded into a pot, but the soldier was not worried, this West Cross Courtyard was originally separated from the main courtyard of the General's Mansion, coupled with the copper wall and iron wall, this sound could not reach the main courtyard, and the stall vendors who were locked in the ear room were in a hurry, banging on the door one by one, seeing that there was no movement outside, they could only sit on the ground one by one.

"What does this General's Mansion mean, we also sent the dishes here, and the silver was also given to us, we are all about to leave Chang'an City, and we have robbed it back again, and we haven't stolen anything from the General's Mansion, hey, none of you take anything from the General's Mansion." The rest of the hawkers shook their heads, and the hawker who spoke said suspiciously, "Could it be that the General's Mansion thinks that each person has given too much silver and wants to take it back?"

"One or two silver is too much, how can our dishes be worth a tael of silver, if you don't think it's worth it, you can change it for us in the carriage, why bother to run so far to escort us back, and keep us here, there must be something strange, hey, I can't go back to Yunjin City this time, how can it be good, my old man is still waiting for me at home, I came out early this morning, what can I do?" The wrinkled lady sat on the ground with a sad face, and those wrinkles were even more tightly wrinkled together, like a failed chrysanthemum.

"It can't be that we provoked the general or something, isn't it possible that our dishes are poisonous?" A middle-aged man said, as soon as Aunt Gongsun heard the word poison, she immediately looked at the man with wide eyes, could it be that he also saw what the man in black did, only to see the man said again, "I don't take any potions on weekdays, it's all irrigated by feces and urine in the pit, absolutely natural and pollution-free, but as for you, I don't know." ”

"Where do we have the money to buy potions, aren't they all and urine watering vegetables, and this general's mansion doesn't know what's going on? Is there a misunderstanding somewhere? The other lady frowned and said hesitantly.

"Who knows, if I knew that this was the case, I wouldn't have come, and I didn't covet this tael of silver." Some people began to regret today's trip, and if something really happened later, it would really be regretting that it was not at the beginning.

"Hey, you said the people from the General's Mansion wouldn't kill us, right? We didn't do anything wrong! The hawker's words caused panic among everyone, and when they heard the word murder, everyone's hearts were shocked.

"Why kill us, we are all good citizens, and besides, what good is it for his general's mansion to kill us? This is under the Son of Heaven, not the world of the General's Mansion! Another vendor raised his voice and shouted at the door, as if to warn the soldiers outside.

"Isn't it simple for the General's Mansion to kill someone? It's like stepping on an ant to death, just find a reason to correct the Fa on the spot, you must know that General Mo is a big celebrity in front of the emperor, we are all lowly untouchables, who cares about our life or death?" The hawker's words scared everyone present.

"I don't want to die yet, I'm still young, and I still have children at home? I don't want to die! A little lady who looked relatively young heard those people say dead, and hurriedly choked up and said, probably thinking of the children in her family, tears fell all of a sudden, and Aunt Gongsun saw this, and hurriedly comforted, "Little lady, don't be afraid, the people of this general's mansion will not ask for people's lives for no reason, something must have happened, just ask everyone to make it clear, don't be too afraid." When the little lady heard the words of Aunt Gongsun, she hurriedly sat beside her, grabbed Aunt Gongsun's hand, stopped crying, and said again and again, "Auntie, I believe you." ”

Just when those hawkers were chattering non-stop, the Qinglong leader came to the West Cross Courtyard with Chihu and Chunchan, and the soldiers guarding the door saw the Qinglong general coming, and hurriedly reported, "General, everyone has been chased back, but it's just ......."

"Just what?" Qinglong looked at the soldier with a sad face, could it be that he let that person escape? It's really useless, the soldier looked at Qinglong's face, and said hesitantly, "Count the number of people, there is one less person than when I first came." Qinglong suddenly understood in his heart, that person must have fled far away, and there were spies who came prepared, how could these unsuspecting soldiers be able to hold it?

"Well, well, if I hear this come out of a third person's mouth, you should be ready to bring it up." , the soldier hurriedly replied heavily, "Yes." Qinglong waved his hand, and the soldier stepped aside.

Qinglong asked Chunchan to walk to the paper window, Chihu rubbed a hole in the paper window with his fingers, Chunchan looked over, and saw the Gongsun Auntie sitting there at a glance, she quickly raised her head and said to Qinglong, "It's the lady who is wearing a peony embroidered on her body, and she has a green hairpin on her head, she told me about it." ”

"Okay, I know, Chihu, you send Chunchan back to the front yard first, and I'll interrogate you." Qinglong asked the gatekeeper to take Aunt Gongsun out and take her to the side room next to the ear room, the soldier entered the house, grabbed Aunt Gongsun's collar as soon as he could, and asked her to follow him out, Chu Yue saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to take Aunt Gongsun's hand, and asked the soldier, "What happened, why did you take Aunt Gongsun away." ”

"It's just a routine question, what are you nervous about? Is there a ghost in your heart?" As soon as Chu Yue heard the soldier say this, she hurriedly waved her hand and said what I didn't have, Aunt Gongsun thought, and finally found my head, it seems that nine times out of ten it is the disaster that the man in black broke through, she turned around and comforted Chu Yue, "I'm fine, don't worry, I'm sitting upright, I haven't done anything, they won't do anything to me, Zhao Dalang, Yang Sanlang, Shen Luo, and this little lady, don't worry about me, I'll come when I go!" ”

The gatekeeper led Gongsun Auntie to the inside of the chamber, and locked the door from the outside, Gongsun Auntie was suddenly pushed into the chamber, the darkness of the chamber and the bright sunny sky outside were in stark contrast, Gongsun Auntie saw a tall soldier sitting in the shadow, she couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, until the man stood up, she saw clearly, it turned out to be the Qinglong leader.

"Your name is Aunt Gongsun, right, you know very well what I came to you for, you say it clearly word by word, half a sentence can't be fake, otherwise you know the consequences very well!" Qinglong raised his voice and glanced at Aunt Gongsun with sharp eyes.

Seeing Qinglong's fierce expression, Aunt Gongsun immediately knelt down tremblingly, "General, I must tell the truth, the man in black is sitting in the carriage with us, I saw the man in black with his eyebrows, and I haven't seen him in Yunjin City on weekdays, so I paid extra attention to him, and saw him here cautiously, and probed there from time to time, or just lowered his head and didn't say a word, people who don't know still think he was dumb, you know, we are small stall vendors, it stands to reason that we are all peers, In addition, if you are in business, you have to open your mouth, and you usually have to say a few words and say hello when you see someone, but this person doesn't feel like a hawker at all. Aunt Gongsun looked up at Qinglong, Qinglong's expression relaxed, and said, "Go on." ”

"So I kept an eye on it, and when I saw him on the way, he really didn't say a word, and when I saw him unload a large head of beef from the carriage, I was even more strange, because there were only a few companies that sold beef in Yunjin City, and I knew that I had never seen him sell beef, and then when he unloaded the beef in the back kitchen, I saw him sprinkle the powder in the small bottle on the beef, and the action was very fast, and it was done all at once, and then he stood up as if nothing happened, I originally thought forget it, more is better than less, Later, when I thought about it carefully, I also got a bag of rice from the General's Mansion last time, and you bought me something last time, and gave me a tael of silver, and I can't get over this conscience. Aunt Gongsun finished the whole thing in one breath, and seeing that Qinglong was pondering there, she hurriedly continued.

"So, I pretended to bump into a maid named Chunchan when I went to the latrine, and I told her everything, if I went directly to the cook and said, I was afraid that they would think I was talking nonsense, and the maid of your general's mansion would believe it after all, so I left after that." After Aunt Gongsun finished speaking, she looked up at Qinglong, who pointed to the chair and said, "You sit down first." ”

When Aunt Gongsun heard Qinglong say this, she knew that he trusted her, she kept kneeling on the ground, and she was nervous, but she really felt that her knees hurt a lot, she got up with difficulty and sat on the chair.

"Why didn't the man in black get into the carriage, where did he go, do you know?" Qinglong asked, Aunt Gongsun hurriedly said, "When we left the General's Mansion, the man in black took advantage of everyone's inattention and hurriedly walked away, I am an eldest lady, and I don't dare to stop it, he can carry so much beef alone, and his strength must be great, plus he is so bold and dares to do these things in the General's Mansion, I am afraid that he has martial arts, so I dare not go up, I can only watch him go away." ”

"Well, okay, probably I know everything, you are the first person to pay attention to him, what does he look like, you describe it, the more detailed the better." Qinglong took out a brush and rice paper, and Aunt Gongsun slowly recalled, and Qinglong followed Aunt Gongsun's narration and drew the appearance of the man in black on the rice paper one by one.
