Liu Fan looked at the other party and said slowly, "Tell me, which army are you from, are you a forbidden army or a guard?" ”

"Lao Tzu is in this Taibai Mountain, I haven't heard of any forbidden guards, since you have been caught, if you want to kill, you have to scrape and listen to the respect, if Lao Tzu frowns, it will be considered that you gave birth."

"Okay, I didn't expect it to be a good man, but I won't move you, I just need to hand you over to the Ministry of War after returning to Beijing, and then the emperor will decide what to do with you, but there is one of the laws of Daqi that I remember, 'If you send troops without an order from the Ministry of War, it will be regarded as complicity, right?' ”

As soon as he heard this, the middle-aged man's eyes immediately showed a trace of deep fear, and his mouth trembled and said, "I...... I don't understand what you're saying, don't try to get words out of my mouth, I won't say anything. ”

"It doesn't matter if you say it or not, I have sent the guards to the capital to report the matter to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War will know which army is out of the army privately in the armies near the capital, and then the Shangguan and a battalion of men and horses who will arrange for you to send troops will all be punished for the crime of treason, and the beheading of the commander and above, the soldiers will be assigned to the frontier to guard the beacon tower, and they will not be allowed to return to Beijing for life, and a person like you, who is a battalion captain, will not only suffer the punishment of Ling Chi, but also the family will be implicated, and it is estimated that your son's life will not be saved. Your wife and daughter will have to earn a living in the Workshop Division from now on. ”

"Ah...... My lord, my lord, spare my life, I say it all, I say it all, please spare me for the sake of my eighty-year-old mother. ”

"Hmph, I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin, I don't know if you have an eighty-year-old mother at home, if there is, people like you will not be filial to their mother."

"Yes, yes, what the adults said, I'll tell you everything the adults want to ask, as long as you can keep your next life with your noble hand."

"Which army are you from?"

"The subordinate is Mu Qing, the captain of the ugly battalion of the C Brigade of the Longxiang Army, and this time he was ordered by his boss to lead the ugly battalion to come here to set up an ambush."

"Isn't the Long Xiang army camping in Hedong, how can it be in the capital?"

Mu Qinggang wanted to explain, but Li Min next to him had already spoken, "Liu Fan, four of the eight armies of Longzitou are camping in Hedong, and the other two armies are jointly garrisoning the capital with the five armies of Tianzitou. ”

"Oh."

Liu Fan once heard the other party talk about some specific situations of the Great Qi Forbidden Army when he was chatting with Li Shouyi, and knew that the twenty-four forbidden armies were divided into three parts: Tian, Long, and Shen, with Tianzitou mainly garrisoning the capital, Longzitou mainly garrisoning Hedong, and Shenzitou mainly garrisoning the northwest, and a few forbidden armies camping in Yanshan and various places in Jiangnan and Xichuan.

"Who ordered you to set up an ambush here?"

"It was our cultural and tourism chief, who ordered us to come here to kill a small unit in the northwest camp, and he told me, 'This unit is a force that escaped after disobeying the order, and the maximum number of people may be only a few dozen, or at most more than 100 people, but I didn't expect you to have more than 200 people today.'"

"What else did he say?"

"That's all, and when we were leaving, he told us that we must be optimistic that it is a small unit of the northwest camp, and we will be rewarded when we return after completing the mission."

"Okay, take him down and keep him under strict supervision, and then deal with it after returning to Beijing."

"Big ...... My lord, I will give me an account of what you said, and you will spare my life, you ...... You can't go back! ”

"Hehe, you are so old, can't you even figure out this reason, what right do I have to put your punishment in the beak, do you know who is sitting in that carriage today? It is the two women in front of him, one of them is the daughter of the current right minister, and the other is the daughter of Guo Huaide, the chief manager of the Northwest Camp. ”

"You are really bold, dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, this matter is too big, not you and I can have the final say, I can only hand you over to the right prime minister's mansion after I go back, it just so happens that the right minister is also the secretary of the military department, as for how to deal with you, public or private, it depends on how the big man who instructed you to come responds to this matter."

"Cultural tourism handsome?"

"He? Hmph, what can he be? At most, it's a little minion like you, as for who the top master is, that's not what we can imagine, you and I are the same, in this matter we can only let it go and wait with peace of mind. ”

After listening to Liu Fan's words, Mu Qing was already stunned, he just completed a task under the arrangement of the brigade commander, but he didn't expect that it was the daughter of the prime minister and the head of the northwest camp who was going to be robbed and killed, if he knew that it was them, he wouldn't dare to lend ten guts, at this time, after listening to Liu Fan's analysis, he was already scared into a puddle of mud and was dragged out by two guards.

"Brother Liu, is it so serious, after all, these people are just carrying out orders."

Liu Fan knew that this girl was kind-hearted, and when she heard that she might be executed by Ling Chi, even her family would not be spared, and she had already sympathized with these people.

"It depends on how this matter is dealt with in the end, if it is directly put on the table, these people will definitely become scapegoats, and there will be no good end, but if the two sides can negotiate and finally settle it privately, the result may be slightly better."

"There is no way, sometimes our own destiny is not in our own hands, but in the hands of a few people with ill intentions."

Everyone quietly savored Liu Fan's words, born in such a world, don't say that you are the master and choose your own life, some things can only be chosen helplessly, sometimes you can't even get the right to live humbly, and this is still the period when the Great Qi Dynasty is thriving, you can imagine how the people in the last years of those dynasties lived.

Maybe this atmosphere was too dull, Li Min couldn't bear it at first, hugged his head and said, "I don't want to, I don't want to, I have a headache when I think about such a problem, Liu Fan, tell us, how did you find out that there was an ambush on both sides of that valley?" ”

After listening to Li Min's question, everyone suddenly became interested, and even Dong Zi said in a muffled voice, "That's it, brother, fortunately you found out in time, otherwise we would have all baked it by now." ”

Listening to Dong Zi's words, everyone couldn't help laughing. Liu Fan scolded with a smile, "The stinky boy doesn't have a score when he speaks." ”

"What's wrong with what Dong Zi said, if you find out later at that time, we will all report to the king of Hades together now." Li Min continued.

"I think you must have noticed the suspicions in this, Han'er has always been careful, you can talk about it first, whether it is the same as I think."

"Brother Liu, are you taking the school for me? I don't know anything about military affairs. ”

"This has a certain relationship with the military, but not all, as the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, as long as it is not consistent with our cognition in ordinary life, then there may be problems, you think, what is abnormal about people and things in the valley today."

“…… First of all, the piles of firewood, I saw that there were only a few families in the valley, and they would not cut so much firewood at once, and then leave it there and not carry it back. Ling Han said hesitantly.

"Yes, it's all that firewood, if I remember correctly, every time a farmer chops firewood, he only chops a bundle and carries it home the same day, and there will be no such situation where a lot of wood is cut down and piled there."

With Liu Fan's approval, Ling Han had a little confidence, "Also, I estimate that those families are at least nearly a mile away from the official road, and behind their houses is the primeval mountain forest, why should they go to the official road to cut firewood?" Moreover, the forests near the official road are sparse, and the trees in the mountains and forests are dense, and it is easy to cut firewood in the mountains and forests, so they should not be reluctant to go far. ”

"Yes, Han'er's analysis is too right, these firewood are their biggest failure, the valley is lush with vegetation, and it can ignite a fire without placing these firewoods, which is the most important point, in addition, what else do you find?"

"I can't talk about the rest, I guess those two scholars on horseback may also have problems, but I can't tell what their problems are?"

Liu Fan looked at Li Min again and said, "In addition to those firewoods, does Xiao Min notice anything else?" ”

"Did those two scholars ride too fast?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hai Xian chimed in beside him, "At that time, I was a little puzzled, the two sons and brothers rode horses too professionally, and they were almost as good as the soldiers in our riding battalion. ”
