Chapter 259: Catch the Messenger

When the full pet returned home, he already knew that there was no possibility of survival.

He knew that Cao Cao was a master who was short of food in the army, and he could borrow the heads of the grain and grass officials to calm the anger of the soldiers, and now in order to appease the anger of the Manchu minister, how could he not borrow his life?

Man Zhong returned to the mansion, invited his wife and children to meet, hastily arranged the funeral, and then prepared a cup of poisoned wine.

This is already the most dignified way to die.

Just as the house was in mourning and discussing preparations for his funeral, Butu led a team of soldiers to break in......

Manzhong's first reaction was that Butu was sent by Liu Ping to see him commit suicide to relieve his anger.

After all, he arrested Butu as a suspect and tortured him for so long, Liu Ping, as Butu's master, let Butu come to see him commit suicide with a high posture, which is the most relieving thing.

But he is already dying, and Liu Ping humiliates him in this way, which is simply a villain's style.

However, he would rather offend the gentleman than the villain, he also dared to be angry and dare not speak, after all, he still has to leave a way for his family to live, and it is not interesting to let go of his mouth at this time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Butu opened his mouth, he said: My master has an order to let you make meritorious contributions and assist him in tracking down the spies.

After hearing this, Manzhong was confused, and let me make meritorious contributions, so Liu Ping saved me?

But I just offended Liu Ping, and he can repay his grievances with virtue?

After being stunned for a long time, Man Pet slapped himself hard, what a villain......

Next, Man Chong was naturally grateful to Liu Ping and obeyed.

Liu Ping asked him to lead people to ambush the man on horseback here, and told him that it was a messenger sent by the spies.

Although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to discount it in the slightest.

What he didn't expect was that he was really waiting for the horseman here......

"Are you going to tie it down, or are you going to wait for me to do it?"

With a wave of his hand, dozens of soldiers blocked the not wide mountain road, and there were even several archers inside.

For Liu Ping, it is naturally impossible to arrange only one checkpoint at the city gate.

In fact, just to be on the safe side, he ambushed all the roads leading to Xuzhou.

As long as at this time, if you catch a person riding a horse on this road, you don't need to screen it, and nine out of ten will send a letter to Liu Bei.

The messenger knew that something was wrong, and quickly grabbed the reins.

It's just that this place full of favors and ambushes is carefully selected, with two mountains sandwiched between a ditch and steep slopes on both sides, and you can't run up on a horse.

The messenger quickly turned his horse's head and ran back along the mountain road.

The archers around him bent their bows and arrows, ready to shoot the messenger down with a single arrow.

"Wait, can you be sure that you will only shoot the horse's leg and not hurt anyone?" Man Zhong pressed the arm of the current archer and asked in a deep voice.

Several archers looked at each other and did not dare to move.

In this era, it is rare to see an archer who wears through the Yang in a hundred steps, not to mention that there is such a large turbulence in the valley, and it is not possible for an archer of their level to shoot the leg of a galloping horse.

"Then wait, if we shoot someone to death, I will die a hundred deaths," Man Chong saw that the archers were silent, and knew that they were not sure, but the most important thing for him at this time was to catch the mouth alive.

That person is obviously just a messenger, and if you want to catch the mastermind behind it, you must follow the vine from that person and continue to track down.

Liu Ping gave him this opportunity to make meritorious atonements, if he accidentally shot someone to death again, the dead body couldn't open his mouth, how could he track it down?

Then he'll just find a place to hit and die.

When the messenger saw that Man Zhong did not chase after him, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, and it seemed that he might be able to escape with his life.

As soon as the thought arose, he suddenly felt a whirlwind of the world, and then his body was thrown forward, and the horse neighed, and fell behind him.

At some point, the mountain road has been covered with trips.

At this time, it was nearly dusk, and his vision was not very good, so he hurried for his life, but he didn't see it.

"Catch, catch,"

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen soldiers came out of the grass next to him, and instantly threw him to the ground, unable to move.

It turned out that this was a pocket array set up by the full pet, and the messenger was allowed to get in, so there was no need to worry about him being able to escape.

Soon, Man Chong led his subordinates over, looked at the messenger with five flowers, and couldn't help but admire Liu Ping's arrangement.

He investigated for more than a month, and was disgraced, and in the end he almost lost his life, and he didn't find any important clues.

Liu Ping took over only one day, and he had already caught the person who sent the letter.

The comparison between these two suddenly made him feel embarrassed, no wonder people can be in such a high position at a young age, this ability is beyond the reach of others.

"Look, don't let him die," Man Chong suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and ordered: "Take him back and interrogate him immediately." ”

If you successfully catch the live mouth, most of the case will be solved.

"No!"

The soldiers answered, tying the desperate messenger like a rice dumpling, and more than a dozen soldiers surrounded him, not daring to be careless at all.

They also knew the importance of the Messenger.

At this time, a soldier suddenly said: "Manfujun, look at this person, it seems that the situation is not right." ”

The head of the man was large, and when he looked closely, he saw that the messenger's face was getting darker and darker, showing a painful look, and then a wisp of black blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

"It's not good, this person has taken poison, ...... quickly"

Man Chong immediately panicked, he never expected this messenger to be so resolute, and immediately committed suicide after being captured.

Come to think of it, when he fell off the horse just now, he should have known that there was no possibility of escape, and he had already stuffed the poison into his mouth.

But full of pets is not a doctor, and even if he says two quick words, he doesn't know how to save people after taking poison.

In fact, there was no need to save him, for the messenger soon kicked his legs and died.

A poison like this carried by a dead soldier must be extremely poisonous, even if Hua Tuo is around, I am afraid it will not be too late to treat it.

"Bastard!"

Full of pets angrily kicked a stone next to him away, but he didn't expect that something went wrong in the end, and now the messenger has become a dead corpse, how to follow the vine and find out the mastermind behind it?

If you haven't done such simple things well, how can you have the face to go back to see Liu Ping?

After calming down a bit, he crouched down and searched the courier's body to see if there was anything to prove his identity.

Naturally, I found the secret letter.

In a hurry, the messenger could take the poison, but it was too late to destroy the letter.

Man Zhong looked at it carefully, and the letter was sealed with fire paint, and the words "Zizhong Qinqi" were written on it.

This turned out to be a letter to Mi Zhu.

However, Man Chong didn't dare to open it, this kind of evidence, he wanted to hand it over to Liu Ping for disposal.

"Manfujun, what should I do now?"

Some soldiers cautiously asked, Ping Gongzi confessed to arresting people, but they only grabbed one corpse, which obviously messed things up.

Man Pet pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Carry this dead corpse and find someone to identify it all over the city."

Those who can determine the identity of this person will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars.

Those who conceal and fail to report it are guilty of the same crime.

I don't believe it, this guy came out of thin air from Xu Du......"
