Chapter 525
Xu Xuan was thinking about how to arrange these sergeants at this time, and when he heard that Yue Anniang was going to find an empty house for these sergeants to settle in the city, he was a little embarrassed in his heart, he still planned to use these soldiers, he couldn't let the family work hard, and he didn't arrange accommodation, so he hurriedly said, "Miss Yue, don't worry about the arrangement of these soldiers, my brother-in-law is the head catcher in this city, he naturally has a place to settle it, but now there is something in the city, and he needs the help of Miss Yue's sergeants."
Yue Fei is extremely strict, but that refers to military discipline, for ordinary people, he pays attention to loving soldiers like children, Yue Fei is stricter with his children than his soldiers, because Yue Fei's children treat the soldiers as brothers, although Yue Anniang has the heart to help, but she still looks at a tall guard behind her, "Brother Gao, you see?" β
The guard standing behind Yue Anniang frowned, he was the guard lady, and he didn't want to worry about these miscellaneous things in the city. But he has followed Yue Fei for many years, and his own young lady grew up watching him grow up by himself, and now his own young lady is seeing a doctor here here, but some things are not easy to do too much, and he asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what Dr. Xu wants us to help?" β
Xu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, the other party asked, this proves that there is a play, at the moment he hurriedly let Li Gongfu in the front hall in, where did Li Gongfu not know that this was the reinforcements brought by Xu Xuan, he had already seen these guards, all of them were burly, introverted, and at first glance, they were veterans of a hundred battles, if they helped each other, this centipede hurt people and was not captured? I didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly told the centipedes in the city about hurting and eating people, and when I heard that Fucheng asked Qiantang County to deal with it by itself,
The high guard's eyes widened at the moment, "Hmph, a mere beast, he even dares to sneak into the city to hurt people, is it really that there is no one in my court?" However, this Qiantang County is such a big case, Fucheng even dares to shirk the blame, and when I return to the army, I will definitely tell the envoys and participate in their dereliction of duty! β
Saying that, he bowed his hand to Xu Xuan and Li Gongfu, "Such a vicious animal, we naturally will not stand idly by, Xu Dafu and Li Zhutou, although they are told!" β
Li Gongfu and Xu Xuan were both overjoyed, and Li Gongfu hurriedly said to the senior guards according to Xu Xuan's plan, which was nothing more than to let these soldiers kill each other when the centipede escaped.
Things were arranged, but Xu Xuan didn't dare to take it lightly, although with the help of these sergeants, the matter became more than half, but for the sake of safety, he still whispered a few words in Li Gongfu's ear, Li Gongfu was stunned at first, and then immediately ran towards the mansion in a hurry.
Here, Bai Suzhen and Xu Jiaorong arranged for Yue Anniang to live in the old mansion of the Xu Mansion, and those guards were not good to live in directly because of the difference between men and women, and Xu Xuan found an empty house outside the Xu Mansion and let these people live in.
The high guard arranged for the men and horses on duty at night, although he wanted to help Li Gongfu kill the centipede, but the safety of his own young lady could not be taken lightly. After all this, Gao Guard, Xu Xuan and others began to eat dinner.
At this time, Li Gongfu took his subordinates to catch the fast, met Xu Xuan and others, and headed towards the deserted mansion in the city, but the place they chose was a place that Xu Xuan was very familiar with, and it was the ghost mansion where Bai Suzhen once lived temporarily!
When Bai Suzhen gave up this mansion, although she had overtaken the lonely souls and wild ghosts in the mansion a lot, but this ghost place was extremely yin, and it didn't take long for the lonely souls and wild ghosts to entrench here, so Xu Xuan had been away from Qiantang for so long, and no one had bought and occupied this ghost house with an excellent location. And tonight to ambush this centipede essence, this is a good place, so Li Gongfu chose this place.
When Xu Xuan and the others arrived at this ghost house, twenty or thirty government servants had already hung fishing nets among the trees in the middle of the air according to Li Gongfu's request, and on the land in it, a puppet was draped in a woman's clothes, and the puppet's chest and abdomen were empty, and there was a decoction that Xu Xuan had asked Li Gongfu to boil for a long time. On the surrounding trees, several good officers smeared insect repellent powder, and held several clay pots full of medicinal powder in their hands, and the rest of the people hid separately in several grass sheds built of half-buried underground weeds, and a lot of magenta powder was sprinkled around to cover the smell and repel insects, so that everyone could live in this grass shed, otherwise at this time, there were still a lot of insects in Qiantang.
Xu Xuan happened to be together with his own brother-in-law at this time, and when he saw Li Gongfu nervously holding the waist knife in his arms, he couldn't help frowning, "Why brother-in-law, I didn't get the things I asked you to borrow from the county lord in the afternoon?" β
Li Gongfu was a little nervous at this time, you let him catch people and not be afraid, but catch centipedes, he hasn't encountered this thing yet, seeing Xu Xuan ask himself, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "The county magistrate went to borrow it, the Zhang family was from the imperial court, and there were many protΓ©gΓ©s, and the magistrate couldn't borrow it, but the son of the Zhang family understood the righteousness and secretly sent the sword to us!" β
Li Gongfu said, and from the hand of the officer behind him, he took a long sword wrapped in a light cyan scabbard and came out.
"You didn't get splashed with any water when you held the sword, did you?" Xu Xuan suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked.
Li Gongfu was confused: "Why should I be splashed with water?" Second brother, are you alright? β
Hearing Li Gongfu say this, Xu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, with this thing, it is estimated that it will be safe tonight, in the original book, this long sword was stained by washing feet and lost its spirituality, but it can still stab the invulnerable centipede essence, and it is a divine weapon. Now that it has not been defaced, wouldn't it be even more powerful?
At this moment, the sound of insects around him suddenly fell completely silent, and even the owl, which called from time to time, did not know that it was hiding in that corner, and did not dare to make a sound.
The sound of "rustling" sounded, as if something was crawling quickly through the grass.
"It's coming!" Xu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he secretly looked out from the grass shed, and at this time, the silver moonlight sprinkled in this deserted house, shining the half-human-high wild grass white. But at this time, the night wind blew the grass gently swaying, and the grass blades and stems rubbed against each other, and the rustling sound became louder and louder.
Xu Xuan was full of doubts, could it be that he was suspicious, this sound was the sound of the wind blowing the grass?
Just when Xu Xuan was puzzled, he saw a stone fly out of the grass next to him and hit the puppet not far away, and the huge force even smashed a lot of grass in the grass.
"Bastard, that guy did it!" When Li Gongfu saw the stone flying out of the grass, he was furious at the moment, and he was about to lift the grass mat and go out. But as soon as he got up, he was already hugged tightly by Xu Xuan!
