On the second day after Qin Qiong and the others left, Luo Cheng and Liu Zhouchen were still in Qin's house to pick up the last few birthday gifts sent by the people in the Eighteen Villages, but they saw Min'er hurriedly running over and shouting: "Uncle, it's not good!" Young Master Cousin's house was surrounded by officers and soldiers! ”

"What?" Luo Cheng stood up suddenly, and hurriedly walked out of the house, but saw that outside the courtyard, Lai Hu'er led his troops into the courtyard, and ordered his soldiers to capture everyone in the courtyard without saying anything. Seeing this scene, Jia hurriedly rushed back to the house, and Lai Hu'er shouted: "Catch her!" A soldier immediately chased after him, but was instantly knocked to the ground by Luo Cheng, who arrived at the scene.

"Lai Hu'er! Why are you presumptuous here? Luo Cheng asked angrily.

"General Luo! General Ben received a report that someone had bought this tribute on the black market, and the person who resold it was in this courtyard at this moment. General Luo, are you going to stop General Ben from enforcing the law? Lai Hu'er asked at this time with a crystal clear jade cup in his hand. And Luo Cheng recognized that it was the purple jade luminous cup that Liu Zhouchen had just resold yesterday. He and Liu Zhouchen were originally instructed by Xu Shiji to transfer all the birthday gifts given by the people in the eighteen villages in the past two days, but they didn't expect that there would be tribute in these birthday gifts!

"You just take a cup and say it's a tribute, and you come here to arrest people, how do I think you deliberately planted it?" Luo Cheng refused to admit it, and sneered at each other. Because as long as Lai Hu'er doesn't catch Liu Zhouchen, Lai Hu'er won't be able to move the people here.

"This thing is called the Ziyu Luminous Cup, which was robbed by Xiangma on the way to tribute five years ago, and appeared in Jinan Mansion today, and under the investigation of this general, I only knew ......" Lai Hu'er suddenly sniffed when he said this, and Luo Cheng also smelled a burning smell at this time.

"There!" As soon as Lai Huer pointed to the house that Jia had just entered, a soldier immediately rushed over, and Luo Cheng was about to go to the bar, but was stopped in place by Lai Hu'er's shot. In a moment, the soldier had already rushed into the house, and when he came out again, he saw the soldier hurrying out with a piece of paper that had been burned off.

"My lord, the people in the house are burning this." The soldier replied, and the scrap paper was handed over to Lai Hu'er.

"Humph! Sure enough, I had an affair with Hibiki Horse, and I took them all! When Lai Hu'er gave the order, Jia Shi also chased out of the house, and after seeing the paper in Lai's hand, Jia Shi instantly softened on the side of the door.

Seeing this scene, Luo Cheng also guessed that the piece of paper was probably the letter of submission written by everyone last night. Because everything other people did was dangerous, Qin Qiong left the certificate here and handed it over to the Jia family for safekeeping, and when the Jia family saw Lai Hu'er leading the troops to come, he thought that the matter was exposed, and the first thing he thought of was to destroy the name of the company, but he didn't expect it to backfire, and he was stopped by the soldiers who rushed in.

"Lai Hu'er, what crime did General Ben commit, you want to take me?" Luo Cheng looked at the burned mutilated petition and asked, his voice no longer showing any nervousness.

"Fornication ringing horses, the evidence is conclusive!" Lai Hu'er shouted loudly, holding up the vote with one hand. Lai Hu'er was also very happy in his heart, originally he just came to arrest Liu Zhouchen, who was reselling tribute, but he didn't expect to accidentally get this nomination certificate, which clearly swore to oppose Sui, and many famous ringing horses were even more impressively registered, which naturally included Qin Qiong's name.

"Really? Do you see my name? ”

was asked by Luo Cheng like this, Lai Hu'er hurriedly picked up the name letter again and looked at it, and sure enough, there was indeed no Luo Cheng's name on the name certificate. Because the lower left corner of this name has been burned off a lot by Jia's family. Not only did Luo Cheng have no name, but even the names of the several Beiping Mansion generals who came with Luo Cheng were also not, not to mention the Chai Shao who had a relationship with him last night. Was it burned or was it not there in the first place? Not sure at all!

"General Luo, there is indeed no name of you on it, but there is the name of your cousin Qin Qiong on it, according to the laws of the Great Sui, but if there is a rebel, his relatives will also sit together, will General Luo be captured by himself, or will General Ben do it?"

"Try it!" Luo Cheng shouted violently, and a silver gun flew out of the window in the house, Luo Cheng stretched out his hand to take it, and the silver gun picked up the body of Lai Hu'er's gun and placed it horizontally in front of him, which also made Lai Hu'er dare not rush forward. After Luo Cheng, the official of Beiping Mansion came out, and Qin Yong held a double hammer in front of Qin's mother and Qin Huaiyu. Zhang Gongjin and Shi Danai were guarding the Zhuang family, Luo Shi was guarding Min'er, only Bai Xiandao, he was just about to protect the Jia family, but before he could arrive, he was preempted by the soldiers under Lai Hu'er.

The scene was tense for a while, of course Luo Cheng could not make the slightest concession, but Lai Hu'er did not have any intention of withdrawing troops, but in Lai Hu'er's heart, he was really unwilling to have a direct conflict with Luo Cheng. Not for anything else, just because Luo Cheng has the backer of Beiping Mansion behind him! He had already heard about Luo Cheng's trouble in Luoyang City, and now the saint is still unwilling to offend Beiping Mansion for the sake of the Eastern Expedition, if he really moves the sword with Luo Cheng today, no matter what the result is, I am afraid he will have to bear the greatest responsibility. What's more, if it really starts, he may not be able to defeat Luo Cheng, even if Luo Cheng is tied, Jinan Mansion has no right to deal with Luo Cheng, I'm afraid I still have to ask the court first and ask the attitude of Beiping Mansion. Just let people go? How should he explain when he goes back? The charge of releasing anti-thieves is not something he can bear!

As for Luo Cheng, he also estimated the stakes in this, but what he was worried about was not a battle with Lai Hu'er, but once the fight started, with these people around him, I am afraid it would be difficult to ensure the safety of his uncle's family and a group of female dependents, if these people had any mistakes, how could he have the face to meet Qin Qiong and his parents.

"General Luo!" In the end, it was Lai Hu'er who spoke first, "You can leave." When Luo Cheng heard this, he was just about to signal Bai Xiandao to take back the Jia family, but Lai Hu'er said: "But Qin Qiong's family, Shu Mo will not be able to let go!" ”

"What if I have to take it?" Luo Cheng dared to ask this, knowing that Lai Hu'er had weighed the pros and cons before he gave in.

Sure enough, as soon as Luo Cheng finished asking, Lai Hu'er had already spoken: "General Luo's battle with General Tianbao outside Luoyang City is famous all over the world, and the last general has already heard that the last general thinks that he is definitely not General Luo's opponent, and there is no name of General Luo on this list, so the last general does not dare to force the general to stay." However, the evidence of Qin Qiong's name is conclusive, and as a general of the imperial court, it is impossible to release him today no matter what. General Luo is the prince of Beiping Mansion, when we know the strictness of military law, the forest of law, if we do it today, this matter will be transmitted to the imperial court and Beiping Mansion in the future, the last general is not afraid, I believe that the king of the backer will not blame the last general, and please General Luo do not be embarrassed. If the general insists on obstructing it, judging from the last general, the general's current manpower may not be able to guarantee the safety of the prisoners. ”

Soft and hard exhortation, Lai Hu'er's words were clearly retreating, but he was secretly reminding Luo Cheng of his involvement with Beiping Mansion. He did think of the stakes involved in today's incident, so although he lost some face today, he undoubtedly handled today's matter just right, Qin Qiong is Qin Qiong, Beiping Mansion is Beiping Mansion, only by separating the two parties, can he not only offend Beiping Mansion, but also fulfill his duties, as for the deeper interests that will be touched later, it is not within his scope of responsibility.

The silver spear in Luo Cheng's hand gradually converged, and seeing this scene, Lai Hu'er ordered his soldiers to step forward and take people. The soldier had just taken a few steps forward, only to hear the person behind Luo Cheng shouting: "Uncle Cousin! ”

Naturally, it was Qin Yong who spoke, and most of the other generals in Beiping Mansion were generals in the army, and they didn't dare to disobey Luo Cheng, but these people that Lai Hu'er was going to arrest now, but his godmother and grandmother, plus he didn't have so many thoughts, hurriedly shouted in a hurry, but heard Luo Cheng say sharply: "Stand down!" Can you afford any mistakes from your grandmother? ”

Qin Xin was reluctant to step forward, but saw Luo Cheng stepped forward again and said to Lai Hu'er: "General Lai, this person is Qin Qiong's righteous son Qin Yong, although he is somewhat involved with Qin Qiong, but he has been serving in Beiping Mansion, this general can vouch for it, he will never know about Qin Qiong's rebellion, if General Lai doesn't believe it, you can see if there is his name on the book." ”

"It's not related by blood, and there is no name on the roster, so the general will naturally not arrest people indiscriminately." Lai Hu'er looked at the roster, and ordered: "Everyone listens to the order, Qin Qiong rebelled, and his family and the criminal Liu Zhouchen are all arrested!" The rest of the generals of Beiping Mansion have nothing to do with this matter, and they are not allowed to move without permission! ”

"Who dares to arrest my mother!"

As soon as the soldier arrived in front of Qin's mother, Luo Shixin shouted violently, and raised the soldier with one hand. Seeing that Luo Shixin was about to smash the soldier to the ground, Qin Mu stopped him in time: "Shixin! Put people down! ”

"Mother! They're going to get you! Although Luo Shixin was unwilling, he still honestly put down the person in his hand.

At this time, Qin's mother said to Lai Hu'er: "General, this is my godson Luo Shixin, a bit stupid, he doesn't know about my son's uncle's treasure, and it is impossible for him to participate, and I ask the general not to arrest him." ”

Lai Hu'er looked at Luo Cheng and was about to promise Qin's mother, but Luo Shixin had already run to Qin's mother's side and cried: "Mother! If Shixin doesn't go anywhere, Shixin will follow you. ”

"Shixin, my mother is afraid that you will be hungry when you go in, you have a lot of food, and you can't sleep when you are hungry, who will take care of you when you go with your mother!" Mother Qin cried and took Luo Shixin into her arms, and everyone outside couldn't help but be moved. Luo Cheng glanced at Lai Hu'er, and Lai Hu'er didn't want to drag it out like this, so he said: "General Luo, don't worry, although the people of the Qin family are suspected of rebellion, my Jinan Mansion will not abuse the prisoners, and the food is still managed." ”

Several people in Beiping Mansion got out of the way one after another, allowing Lai Hu'er to take Qin Qiong's family away from the Qin family, but in everyone's hearts, they felt extremely aggrieved. Yesterday, they and Qin Qiong swore that they had signed their names on the roster, but now they are watching Qin's mother being arrested, if this is spread out, it will not be laughed at by the world! But Luo Cheng didn't speak, and they didn't dare to act rashly. Because of the comrade-in-arms relationship for many years, they believe that Luo Cheng is not a person who is afraid of things, and there must be some reason why he is so forbearing. Finally, as soon as the generals of Jinan Mansion left the Qin family as soon as Lai Hu'er and the other soldiers left the Qin family, Zhang Gongjin stepped forward and asked: "Little Marquis, do you want to go and snatch the old lady back, now they haven't gone far, it's still too late!" ”

Zhang Gongjin mentioned this, and the rest of the people also stepped forward, but they heard Luo Cheng say: "Don't act rashly, this matter is not in a hurry." Heroes can't stand the crowd! With our current manpower, it will be difficult to ensure the safety of my aunt if we fight. Although the aunt and sister-in-law were arrested, they were not the main culprits, and the Jinan Mansion knew the relationship between the cousin and the Beiping Mansion, so the aunt would not have to worry about her life until the cousin was caught. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, this was considered peace of mind, and then they listened to Luo Cheng and instructed: "Gong Jin, you and the owner of Shan Zhuang are old acquaintances, the people in the green forest of Jinan Mansion should know a lot, my cousin is generous and chivalrous, there should be many friends here, you go to contact them, you can talk about anti-Sui things, if they are interested in helping, we must have enough manpower within three days to rescue my uncle's family from Jinan Mansion!" ”

"Everyone!" Facing the dozens of forgers present, Su Dingfang spoke, and as he spoke, the swordsmiths in the audience also looked at him. "You are all famous swordsmiths in the capital, and Dingfang also has something to say here, the reason why I invited you here today is only for one thing———— casting swords!"

"Forge a knife?" Questions arose in the minds of the casters.

"That's right! But the knife to be cast must be able to cut flesh and bones, and cut bones and marrow! If this knife is cast, you are all heroes of the world! If not, the court will treat you and others well until you succeed in casting the knife! ”
