Volume 1 Crossing the rivers and lakes and wading into temples Chapter 17 The soldiers are not bad

When the middle-aged man heard Ye Chen's words, he wanted to die.

Chen Bing, who was on the side, rushed up and asked anxiously, "Chenzi, are you okay?" Hold on, I'll take you to Lang Zhong now. As he spoke, he was about to pick Ye Chen up.

Ye Chen smiled and took out an iron plate from his arms and said, "What do you think this is?" ”

Chen Bing's face is black, what kind of operation is this.

Ye Chen smiled again at this time and pointed to his back and said, "Come, Bingzi, touch what this is." ”

Chen Bing stretched out his hand and touched it: "I'll go, Chenzi, you still have a plank here." ”

The people around were stunned at first when they heard this, and then they all laughed again. Chen Bing walked behind Ye Chen, pulled out the arrow that was still inserted in the wooden board on Ye Chen's back, looked at it carefully and said, "Chenzi, if this arrow is shot in, it is estimated that it will leave a hole." ”

Ye Chen said angrily: "If you have a little conscience, you can't hope that I will be better."

Chen Binghe smiled: "Your life is big, it's okay." ”

Ye Chen turned back to everyone and said, "Let's go back to the Lin Mansion to prevent these people and dogs from jumping off the wall in a hurry." ”

Everyone responded and walked in the direction of the Lin Mansion on guard.

Ye Chen walked up to the man and asked, "You are not small, you are also a member of the Blood Knife Sect?" ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Ye Chen and didn't speak, and laughed to himself. Just when Ye Chen was suspicious, the middle-aged man suddenly fell to the ground, with a little bleakness and incomprehension in his smile, and blood kept gushing out of his mouth. Ye Chen hurriedly squatted down to support his neck and asked, "Who is the general?" ”

I only heard the middle-aged man muttering with difficulty: "The boss said that he would save me, why did he ......" and he died before he finished speaking.

Bu San walked over and picked up the middle-aged man's pants, observed them carefully for a while and said, "Ye Chen, the wound is black and purple, and the arrow is poisonous. ”

Ye Chen showed an ugly look on his face, and said to Bu San: "Captain Bu, please send someone to send him to the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, and we will send Miss Lin back to the Lin Mansion to go over." Then Bu San sent three people to carry him away and walked briskly towards the Yamen of the Inspectorate.

After sending Lin Yanyan to the Lin Mansion, Ye Chen pulled Chen Bingye and walked towards the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, and Lin Yanyan's voice came from behind him: "Ye Chen, be careful on the road." ”

Inspector Yamen, Qin Xiaoqin looked at the man lying on the ground and frowned. It was actually done in broad daylight, and it was still in the market, if there was no special reason, the other party would not have taken such a risk. However, why did he assassinate Ye Chen and Chen Bing, this question has been confusing Qin Xiaoqin since the middle-aged man was lying in the yamen of the Inspector Division, it stands to reason that there is no need to kill the mouth, because Ye Chen and Chen Bing know the clues and many people know that it is impossible for the people of the Blood Knife Gate to kill them one by one. But apart from this reason, Qin Xiaoqin really couldn't find any other reason.

Just when Qin Xiaoqin was confused, Ye Chen walked in from outside and said, "Do you see anything?" ”

Qin Xiaoqin replied: "Poisoning." ”

Ye Chen said: "In addition to poisoning? ”

Qin Xiaoqin replied, "It's gone." ”

Ye Chen said again: "Why me and Chen Bing? ”

Qin Xiaoqin spread his hands and replied, "Yes, why?" The two had a tacit understanding, and neither said that it was to kill them, because in their opinion, this reason was not enough.

"Disrupt the line of sight!" At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the front hall of the Inspectorate Division and said.

Ye Chen looked up at him, he was more than seven feet tall, in his forties, with his hands behind his back, his skin was white, and he had a short beard on his lips and chin, which made people look very capable. He was wearing a dark blue brocade coat, black boots, and a milky white jade pendant hanging from his dark green jade belt.

The man looked at Ye Chen and said, "You are Ye Chen, right?" ”

Ye Chen hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Ye Chen, I have seen Lord Huangfu." ”

The person who came was Huangfu Leng, the head of the Inspectorate Division, and the cold-faced Hades who made people fearful.

Huangfu Leng saw that he recognized himself, and said curiously: "How do you know it's mine, we've met before?" ”

Ye Chen replied: "Lord Hui, I haven't seen it, I'm just guessing." Being able to move freely around this inspectorate, and being able to directly participate in the discussion of the case without constraints, coupled with your temperament, I guess you are the head of the inspectorate Huangfu. Ye Chen slapped his ass silently, no way, who made the family awesome.

Huangfu Leng was very useful, nodded and said, "The future life is terrifying!" ”

And Qin Xiaoqin and Chen Bing on the side lowered their heads and twitched, after getting along for more than ten days, they all knew who the other party was, looking at Ye Chen's serious appearance, they wanted to laugh for no reason.

Huangfu Leng continued: "Qin Xiaoqin has already told me everything that has happened these days, and I roughly know what is going on. Among the Blood Knife Gate killers you met this time, there is a person with a black birthmark on his head who can't be killed, as far as we know, he is the leader of a branch of the Blood Knife Gate, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him the old scar, he may know the real hiding place of the Blood Knife Gate. ”

Qin Xiaoqin clenched his fists and bowed his head and said in a muffled voice: "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, I haven't found out where they are hiding yet, and I'm not even sure if they are still in the city." ”

Huangfu waved his hand coldly and said, "It's not your fault, my news was passed on to me by the shadow guard." ”

Ye Chen just wanted to ask who the shadow guard was, but an inspector Si Baihu came in outside, leaned over and hugged his fists and said, "My lord, there is news from the law team of the war barracks." As he spoke, he handed a letter to Qin Xiaoqin.

Qin Xiaoqin was shocked after reading it, turned to Huangfu and said coldly: "My lord, Wang Kaitai, the general of the Dragon and Tiger Army of the Annan Provincial War Camp, may have a problem. ”

Ye Chen exclaimed, "Lord Qin, what's going on. Then Qin Xiaoqin handed the letter to Huangfu Leng, and Huangfu Leng gave it to Ye Chen after reading it.

According to the investigation of Qi Gao of the Law Team, Wang Kaitai's personal soldiers quietly left the camp with a few of his men on the night Xu Jing was killed, and returned to the camp before the rooster crowed the next day. In addition, Wang Kaitai's son Wang Weishu impregnated a widow, and the widow's name was Lin Yanyan, which was the same as Lin Yanyan in the Lin Mansion. Qi Gao of the Law Team believes that Wang Kaitai values face more than life, so he is likely to attack the widow. It is precisely because of this face problem that the Dragon Tiger Army and the Dragon Armor Army have not dealt with each other in the past few years, and they are secretly shouting.

Qin Xiaoqin said: "I deduce that Wang Kaitai contacted Xu Jing of the Black Snake Gang through some means, and is ready to let Xu Jing kidnap Lin Yanyan to deal with this matter privately to prevent the scandal from being publicized." Who knew that Xu Jing's subordinates recognized the wrong person, and accidentally found Lin Yanyan, the daughter of General Lin, and finally took their own lives, thus affecting the Blood Knife Gate's plan to buy the Mo knife of the King of Hades and transport it out of the city. ”

Ye Chen also nodded and said: "In this case, it is very likely that Wang Kaitai is the general that Xu Jing said to his subordinates in Cuihualou before he died, that is, the person we are looking for who can affect the tightness of the city gate inventory." Then after Xu Jing's death, it is very likely that the people of the Blood Knife Gate will directly find Wang Kaitai, and the two sides will exchange conditions and reach some kind of agreement. Wang Kaitai arranged for them to go out of the city, and the Blood Knife Gate promised to clean up the mess left by Xu Jing's kidnapping of Lin Yanyan, so as not to burn themselves in the future, so the next series of things happened. ”

Huangfu Leng stood next to him and looked at the two of them quietly, showing an appreciative smile from time to time.

In the Annan Provincial War Barracks, Lin Zhijiang looked at Qi Gao, the five-rank captain of the law team in front of him, and said: "I can't lead the troops to find Wang Kaitai now, the Dragon and Tiger Army has always been against our Dragon Armor Army, and if you rush to it now, it will easily cause a mutiny in the entire Dragon and Tiger Battalion." "It turned out that Li Haijiang, the mighty general of the three grades of the war camp, went out on an errand, and he could not return to the camp in two days, and Qi Gao of the law team was afraid that Wang Kaitai would make a mistake, so he could only ask for help from Lin Zhijiang, the nearest general of the Dragon Armor Army.

The reason why Qi Gao was in a hurry to find Lin Zhijiang was because after Qi Gao sent someone to send the letter to Qin Xiaoqin, his people found traces of another force in the camp of the Dragon and Tiger Army, this wave of people was armed with a Mo knife, and the appearance was suspicious, plus what Qin Xiaoqin told him before, so Qi Gao was afraid that something would go wrong with the Dragon and Tiger Army.

Just as Qi Gao was discussing with Lin Zhijiang, a person slowly walked into the tent, and that person was shrouded in a black cloak. But not a single soldier came to report the whole time, and there was no movement outside even before the man entered. When Qi Gao drew his sword and faced each other, a token flew out of the man's cloak, Qi Gao caught it and looked at it, then leaned over and hugged his fist and said, "Subordinates, see the Shadow Seven." ”

Lin Zhijiang was also stunned, Ying Wei knew it, an organization that symbolized imperial power. Each of them is just a code name, and they only obey the orders of His Majesty the current emperor, Zhu Chengyuan. Since the shadow guards are here, it means that this matter is not as simple as they seem.

Ying Qi opened his mouth and said: "Trouble General Lin to lead people to secretly surround the Dragon and Tiger Army camp, if you find a red signal, immediately lead people to rush in, if I don't get out of the Dragon and Tiger Army camp for an hour, please immediately send someone to inform the head of the Inspectorate Huang Fu Leng, he has arrived at the Yamen of the Inspectorate of Annan Province, maybe he is rushing here now." ”

Lin Zhijiang hugged his fists and said, "Don't worry, Lord Shadow Seven. ”

After Ying Qi left the camp of the Chinese army, he went straight to the camp of the Dragon and Tiger Army two miles away. He tried to redeem Wang Kaitai with a shadow guard token symbolizing imperial power, and prevented him from falling deeper and deeper, because for the soldiers, their own honor cannot be tarnished. What's more, the Blood Knife Gate he came into contact with is inseparable from the soldiers' pensions.

Wang Kaitai looked at the Shadow Guard Token in his hand and asked word by word, "I don't know what the Shadow Seven Masters are doing here?" ”

Ying Qi first opened the black cloak on his head, and said to Wang Kaitai: "The Blood Knife Sect you came into contact with has joined forces with some officials to embezzle the pension of the dead souls of the frontier war, which is a great shame for the Chinese soldiers. Snatch the things that your comrades exchanged for their lives, and everyone in the Chinese soldiers will be punished! ”

Wang Kaitai was shocked by his words, he went from a small soldier to his current position step by step with his own hard work. The twists and turns he experienced in the middle, and the injuries he suffered were only felt by himself. He understands what a pension means to a comrade who died in battle, and that it is the only guarantee that can keep his family and children alive. None of the soldiers and brothers will take this guarantee without their mother's heart, and they will not allow others to take it away, because maybe the next person to receive the pension is his own family.

His original intention was just to let Xu Jing kidnap a widow and then arrange for him to send her away secretly, which would not threaten her life and even allow her to live a carefree life for the rest of her life, after all, she was pregnant with the children and grandchildren of his royal family. But God is to blame, who knows that Xu Jing will be wrong and catch the wrong person, he can only make the mistake and kill the mouth of the relevant person!

Two years ago, his son Wang Weishu accidentally killed a retired official after drinking, and later Xu Jing made people take the blame to curry favor with Wang Kaitai. In China, killing ordinary people for no reason is to go to the guillotine to resist his fate, not to mention that his son was drunk and deliberately killed. Since then, in exchange, Wang Kaitai has provided Xu Jing with various conveniences, and Xu Jing has often made offerings. You come and go, and the two began to get acquainted, and it wasn't until after Xu Jing's death this time that Wang Kaitai knew that something was wrong.

After a long time, Wang Kaitai said with difficulty: "The pension has nothing to do with me, it is because I have failed His Majesty's trust in me and the general's uniform." I'll take you to the group of people who transported the Mo Dao, right in my own barracks. ”

Ying Qi looked at him and said, "Before coming here, Your Majesty told me that no matter how bad the Chinese soldiers are, they can't be bad, at least this time Your Majesty won't be too disappointed." Looking at Wang Kaitai again, he has already burst into tears.
