Chapter 199: Hostage Exchange
Although Luo Shaoyu was determined to thoroughly investigate the poisoning incident in the canteen, he was busy for most of the day and still had no clue.
However, this poisoning incident suddenly raised the atmosphere in the entire Jingwei Center.
Luo Shaoyu gave an order, and the entire Jingwei Station was like a great enemy, with posts added in front of the door, posts upstairs, and a team of mobile posts added to the courtyard.
In the dark watchtower, Luo Shaojin and a group of people from a family were sitting in front of the small stone window, holding a pocket watch in his left hand, watching closely the people entering and leaving the gate.
The poisoning incident shocked her too much.
Only then did she understand that in this Jingwei Center, there were not only people from Jieyunzhai, but also people from third parties.
The purpose of this third party is clear.
That is to poison and kill the hostages, creating a situation where the Jingwei Regiment has no cards to fight, and can only choose to break with Jiaoyunzhai.
The siblings could also vaguely feel something, but what they couldn't understand was, what was their motive?
What is the purpose of this?
Could it be that the birds and beasts are still there, and they start to cook and kill eagles and dogs?
How to look at how unreliable.
But as the so-called defense of people is indispensable, the brother and sister immediately made a decision, and they have been strictly guarding against it these days. Prevent any accidents from the captives.
The sun that falls on the top of the west hill throws the last rays of sunlight into the watchtower through the narrow stone window.
Suddenly, the voice of the sentry sounded at the gate post: "Commissioner Yuan, do you want to go out?" ”
Luo Shaojin was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked over. I saw that at the gate post, Commissioner Yuan, who was dressed in civilian clothes, was taking three people and was going out to run errands.
"That's right, it's boring in the countryside, I heard that the Tangquan Tea Tavern is open until nine o'clock in the evening, and there is a troupe, right?" I saw Commissioner Yuan laughing, very hearty, "Two brothers, do you want to bring something?" ”
"Oh, no, no! Commissioner Yuan, you're good to go. When I came back earlier, I heard Luo Tuan always say that he should be effectively banned at night. ”
"Well, I see. Gone, two brothers. The group of four people talked and laughed and walked in the direction of Tanghu Wei.
Luo Shaojin immediately bowed his head and wrote on the paper, "In the afternoon, Yuan Yang took the three of them out of the city. ”
In the twilight, after a while, someone drove a firewood cart and drank to the sentry across the wooden bridge, saying that the firewood that Jingwei wanted had arrived, and he would quickly pass the scale to receive it.
Luo Shaojin felt bad, and even ordered the Czech style to move to that window, and quickly set it up.
After the sentry reported, he saw the female leader rushing out of the canteen courtyard, came to the door, across the wooden bridge on the river, and waved his hand to the old man: "There is something in this house today, it's inconvenient, you can push it over in two days." ”
The old man was obviously a little behind his ears, and the female head repeated it again, and the old man looked very disappointed, muttered and pushed up the firewood cart, turned around, and walked in a daze.
At this moment, the gate opened with a bang, and a group of soldiers rushed out, surrounded the old man, and brought him back to the Jingwei Station.
As night fell, the siblings decided to take turns leading the team to watch the night.
Perhaps, it was their strict preparation that made the third party lurking in the shadows temporarily give up the action.
Nothing happened overnight.
Early the next morning, the head of the ladies who went out to buy vegetables came back in a hurry.
It turned out that there was a man wearing a straw hat on the street who asked her to bring back two notes.
One is the handwriting of Old Man Luo: Yu'er Jin'er, everything is as usual, the food and residence are very good, don't read it. The owner said that if we keep our word, we will be able to hand over in a few days.
The handwriting on the other note was crooked, how ugly and ugly, and there was only a short sentence on it: Luo Tuan always has a letter, very good, please prepare for the handover.
The brother and sister looked at each other worriedly, and then asked the girl a few more words, seeing that they couldn't ask anything, the brother and sister could only strengthen their vigilance while anxiously waiting for further news from each other.
Seeing that the day has passed again.
The red sun is sinking in the west, the twilight is four, and the figures on the road are gradually thinning.
Chen Blind, a fortune teller at the head of Tanghu Wei Bridge, walked alone on crutches, trembling and rope, Luo Shaojin didn't care at first, because this was the way home for Chen Blind, he came very early in the morning and went back late in the evening.
But when Chen Blind passed in front of the Jingwei Station, he stopped and asked to see Luo Shaoyu by name.
Luo Shaoyu greeted him and got two notes, the same as yesterday, one of which was in Old Man Luo's handwriting:
Yu'er Jin'er, the head of the house said that it will be handed over this evening, and we are all overjoyed.
The other reads:
Quickly take my brothers in the village, come to the pot bead brain handover, arrive at 8:40 to 9 o'clock in the evening, not sooner or later, do not wait for the expiration date, and the breach of contract will be punished! Be sure to!
Luo Shaojin didn't expect that the other party would ask for a night handover.
But after thinking about it for a while, I figured it out: Jiaoyunzhai is weak, and it is inevitable to be suspicious.
Luo Shaoyu ordered the assembly whistle to be blown.
The group members had just eaten, were chatting around, listened to the assembly whistle, slowly emerged from the four sides, and lined up in the courtyard.
The captives had just eaten.
Luo Shaoyu decided to leave one company to watch his family, and the other two battalions and one company to accompany him.
After a short time, the traveling team was sorted out, set off in a row, and headed towards the pelvic bead brain.
Before leaving, Tan Chu led a group of his brothers, carried Makqin out, and firmly asked to accompany him.
Since Agent Yuan arrived, Tan Chu's attitude has become particularly subtle. Luo Shaoyu was helpless about this.
At this time, Luo Shaoyu was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab his arm and slapped it again and again.
Arriving outside the head of the pen, Luo Shaoyu immediately ordered a company to hold the mountain pass.
At this time, it was pitch black in Penzhu's mind, and there was no movement, only a few stars and moons in the sky.
Luo Shaojin took out his pocket watch, only to see that it had not yet reached the appointed time. Only while enduring the bite of the original insects in the grass, while looking in all directions at any time.
Seeing that the time had come to half past eight, there was still no movement in Penzhu's mind.
Until nine o'clock, there was no movement.
But after a while, in the northeast of the basin, countless torches swarmed forward. As the distance got closer, a noise rang out, and then it was like a boil, and the voices of people resounded throughout the basin.
Luo Shaoyu entered the basin as agreed, went straight to the middle of the stream bridge, and when he was more than ten steps away from the bridge, he saw that the middle of the basin suddenly lit up. I saw that in the basin, a new bridge was built.
Six or seven lights were lit on each of the two bridges...... The two wooden bridges are illuminated as if it were daylight.
After a while, Luo Shaoyu's mother-in-law helped the old lady to appear on a wooden bridge, and saw them rushing across the bridge happily.
The brother and sister involuntarily stepped forward, but at this moment, a loud shout sounded in the darkness by the mountain stream opposite:
"Stopped, the other side. Now, it's time for us to see your sincerity. ”
Luo Shaoyu waved his hand and divided the captured bandits into three fingers.
The handover process was very smooth.
The unexpected came at the end.
