Chapter Seventy-Three: Buried Alive
The more Li An thought about it, the more he felt that Liu Luogu was suspected of committing a major crime, first, Liu Luogu took over Liangzi with him when he was at Tongguan Station, and he must have a grudge, and Yue'er was by his side at that time, and it was very likely that he would be angry. Second, Liu Luogu had just arrived in the capital, so he shouldn't be too familiar with the situation in the capital, so he wouldn't know Yue'er's identity, so he had no scruples. Third, Liu Luogu was used to being in Yingzhou, and he was all the way to An Lushan, and it was difficult to restrain himself when he arrived in the capital, so he still habitually used local means.
Liu Sheng didn't understand the joints, frowned and asked, "Captain Li, Liu Luogu is a person from the Andu Governor of Yingzhou, how could he kidnap the adopted daughter of the Great General?" This is unlikely. ”
"County Lieutenant Liu, Liu Luogu, this kid is very bad, it must be him."
"That's right, when he was in Tongguan, Liu Luogu also connived at his subordinates and injured the general's wife."
"It's okay, let's investigate first, so that we can be completely sure."
Kunxiong, Fei Yu and Li Fei Shouyu all expressed their opinions.
When Liu Sheng heard this, he was secretly surprised that Liu Luogu actually connived at his subordinates to injure the general's wife, which was eating the bear's heart and leopard gall, and then he was bitten by a dog and got rabies.
Li An thought for a moment and looked at Liu Sheng: "County Lieutenant Liu, Liu Luogu is indeed a major suspect, but for the sake of safety, we should secretly investigate first, and then take action after it is confirmed." ”
Liu Sheng nodded lightly: "Okay, we will ambush the main force a hundred steps away, and Captain Li can lead two brothers to go with me to investigate." ”
Li An looked at Fei Yu and Shou Yu and motioned for them to follow him to investigate.
County Lieutenant Liu Sheng gave a brief explanation, led the two capable catchers, and Li An and the three, quietly went to Liu Luogu's house.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, in order not to startle the snake, Liu Sheng and his party did not light the torches, but moved forward in the dark by the faint moonlight.
"Don't move, someone."
The door of Liu Luogu's residence slowly opened, and a head poked out of it, and after a sneaky observation, it retracted, and then a Jinwuwei soldier in armor walked out and quickly disappeared into the night.
All of this was seen by Liu Sheng and his party of six people hiding in the corner, how could the Jin Wuwei soldiers walk out of Liu Luogu's residence in the middle of the night, and they were sneaky, this is too unreasonable.
"Lieutenant Liu, Jin Wuwei, who walked out of the gate just now, definitely has a problem."
Ang Lee said in a low voice.
Liu Sheng nodded lightly: "Captain Li, if you don't look away, that person just now should be Zhao Asan, the commander of the Right Jinwuwei Brigade, and this kid is a personal essence." ”
Li An saw a dissatisfied look in Liu Sheng's eyes, and it was obvious that Liu Sheng had an opinion of Zhao Asan.
"Big brother, that person was in a hurry just now and dropped something, it should be silver."
Li Feiyu found that a white light suddenly appeared on the dark road, and this only appeared after Zhao Asan walked out of the gate.
Li An walked over in a few steps, picked up the silverware that reflected the bright light, and put it in the palm of his hand to observe it carefully.
"Yue'er, that's right, this is Yue'er's step."
Through the reflected moonlight, Li An saw clearly that the silverware in his hand was a step shake, and it was once worn by Yue'er.
When Liu Sheng heard this, he was shocked, the general's daughter's step shook and actually appeared on Zhao Asan's body, which is enough to show that Yue'er is in Liu Luogu's mansion, and this matter is also related to Zhao Asan.
'Zhao Asan, this is your own death, no wonder me. ’
Liu Sheng was secretly ruthless in his heart, and looked at Li An: "Li Shaolang, the matter is already very clear, I think I can gather people and horses to rush in to save people now." ”
Li An hurriedly waved his hand: "No, we don't know where Yue'er is hidden, if Liu Luogu is forced to be in a hurry, I'm afraid he will jump off the wall in a hurry." ”
"Then what is Captain Li's opinion?"
Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Lieutenant Liu, I sneaked in with the two brothers, first investigate the location where Yue'er was held, and send you a signal after it is determined." ”
Liu Sheng agreed: "Okay, Captain Li, as long as I receive a signal, I will immediately lead all the men and horses to rush in to respond, but there are dozens of people under Liu Luogu's command, and there are only a few people under Captain Li, will it be too risky." ”
Li An looked confident: "There is no need to worry about this, even if Liu Luogu has a hundred subordinates, he is not afraid." ”
"Okay, you two will assist Captain Li, and obey Captain Li's orders."
Liu Sheng ordered two subordinates to say.
"Yes, County Lieutenant."
After making some preparations, Li An took Fei Yu, Shou Yu, and two good catchers to sneak into the house where Liu Luogu lived.
"Dig, give me a quick action."
In the backyard of the residence, Liu Luogu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead while urging his soldiers to speed up digging pits.
It is said that the weather is very cold this season, Liu Luogu did not work in person, so he should not sweat, but he not only sweated on his forehead, but also more than the soldiers who worked.
Of course, this was caused by the extreme nervousness and fear in his heart, and he never expected that his crazy actions had been discovered.
Not long ago, a brigade commander of the Right Jin Wuwei found him and pointed out that Yue'er was in his mansion, and as long as he searched it vigorously, he would definitely be able to find it.
At that time, he was frightened and thought that he was dead, but the commander of the Right Jinwuwei Brigade was not hostile, not only said that he would help him hide it, but also hinted that he would completely erase Yue'er to prevent it from being searched by officers and soldiers.
He didn't know who sent this right Jinwuwei brigade commander, what conspiracy there was, and he didn't dare to ask, in order to avoid this catastrophe, he had to dig a pit in the backyard according to this person's hint, and prepare to bury Yue'er alive.
"Mr. Liu, isn't it too risky for us to do this, in case we ......?"
Liu Luogu panicked and glared at this subordinate: "Bastard, what else can we do, that person has made it very clear just now, if we don't dispose of people immediately, it is very likely that we will be searched by officers and soldiers, and all of us will die at that time, understand?" ”
At this moment, Liu Luogu has decided to let it go, he has no way to send Yue'er away smoothly, and it is not a way to hide in the secret room all the time, but it is a good idea to bury it alive, and after burying people, step on the new soil, spread stone bricks on it, and then build a simple pergola and put it on the table, so, who would doubt that there will be people buried under this pavilion?
Of course, the person they want to bury is Gao Lishi's adopted daughter, and her identity is quite special, so even if she is lucky, Liu Luogu is sweating nervously on her forehead, this matter must not be leaked out, otherwise, what awaits him will be extremely terrible revenge.
Liu Luogu thought that he could hide from the world, but unexpectedly, his behavior had already been seen by Li An and the others who sneaked into the house.
Li An and Li Feiyu were ambushed behind a big rock, the two catchers were ambushed under the big tree next to them, and Lifei Shouyu was quietly lying on the roof, and the five pairs of eyes were staring closely at Liu Luogu and the others who were digging a pit, ready to strike at any time.
Outside the house, Liu Sheng, the county lieutenant of Chang'an County, gathered all his troops and horses, ready to reinforce at any time.
"Mr. Liu, the pit is deep enough, it should be fine."
Liu Luogu gasped and nodded lightly: "Let's start!" ”
Several subordinates understood, immediately ran in the direction of the secret room, and quickly carried a bag of marijuana and quickly ran back.
Inside this hemp bag, it is naturally Yue'er.
Li An and Li Feiyu glanced at each other, ready to make a move, the two catchers quickly clenched the horizontal knife in their hands, and Li Fei Shouyu also bent his bow and arrows, ready to shoot Liu Luogu and his party at any time.
"Mr. Liu, people are struggling hard, whether to kill first and then bury, or directly bury them alive."
Liu Luogu's chest rose and fell violently: "Throw it down, throw it down and bury it directly." ”
Hearing the order, several subordinates threw the bag containing Yue'er into the pit and picked up tools to prepare for burial.
Ang Lee decided that this was a golden opportunity, and made a gesture to Li Fei Shouyu and the two catchers.
"Whoosh......"
An arrow whizzed down from the roof, striking one man in the chest, causing him to fall backwards and fall to the ground, while the two catchers also sent a signal for help.
"This, what's going on."
Liu Luogu looked around in horror.
"Liu Luogu, you are so bold!"
Li An held a horizontal knife and strode towards Liu Luogu with Li Feiyu, with anger in his eyes.
"Ang Li, it's actually you, hurry up, kill him for me."
Liu Luogu's eyes were full of horror and hatred, and he ordered loudly.
More than a dozen soldiers with tools in their hands immediately gathered around Li An.
Li An would not be afraid of these little minions, besides, there are four helpers by his side, and there are nearly 100 people outside the house, and reinforcements will come up soon.
"You're looking for death."
Li An waved the horizontal knife in his hand, and within a few moves, he killed the three soldiers of the Pinglu Army and scared the rest away.
When more Pinglu soldiers heard the movement, they began to run towards the backyard, but these were all in vain, because Liu Sheng had already led a large number of men and horses to rush in, ready to capture all of them.
"Mr. Liu, we're done, let's escape!"
Liu Luogu glared at Li An, turned around and fled, and the soldiers of the Pinglu Army under his command fled with him.
Li An immediately rushed to the deep pit, preparing to rescue Yue'er, while Liu Sheng led a large number of men and horses to chase down Liu Luogu and his party.
The backyard of the house was closed, and Liu Sheng was completely sure that Liu Luogu and his party were all captured, but unexpectedly there was a big hole in the corner where firewood and grass were stacked, and Liu Luogu and several subordinates escaped from the hole.
"Yue'er, Yue'er, are you okay!"
Li An jumped into the pit, untied the hemp bag, and pulled out a lump of linen cloth from Yue'er's mouth.
"Li Shaolang, woo woo ......"
Yue'er was excited and threw herself into Ang Lee's arms.
