Chapter 19 Adapting to the situation
There is a tangible thing that is not tired, and there is no trace to go with the wind. ββTang Jiaoran, "Five Songs of Nanchi Miscellaneous Songs, Xiyun"
It is said that Zhang Ning, the saint of the Yellow Turban, was in the guest room of the Anling Inn, waiting for Li Le for a long time and couldn't reply, and it was getting dark outside. Zhang Ning's eyebrows furrowed, and his heart was not good. Hurriedly packed up, called Ma Yuanyi, the captain of the guard disguised as a coachman, and left in the carriage after settling the bill. The front foot just walked not long ago, the back foot of a bunch of servants quickly surrounded the inn, someone drove a carriage to stop in front of the inn, the curtain of the car was lifted, Huang Gai dragged down Li Le, Li Le was tied only his legs can move, stumbled into the inn, the guys in the inn saw the boss tied in by Huang Gai, they were so frightened that they squatted on the ground and shrunk into a ball. Huang Gai asked all his subordinates to be arrested and brought back for interrogation.
It turned out that after Li Le was caught by Huang Gai, he was quite tough at first, and Huang Gai took a mace a few times, but he didn't let go. In the end, Huang Gai took out the dagger and cut off Li Lexingle's tools, Li Lecai was instigated, but only admitted that he was instructed by a female guest to pass the word to the Xiaoxiang gang leader, and as for being an undercover agent of the Yellow Turban, he refused to admit that he was killed.
Huang Gai thought to himself, it doesn't matter if you recognize it or not, you have to quickly arrest the demon girl who gave the order in the inn, as for Yang Huai's side, he can only let Liu Xiangongzi come forward and use the garrison army to control the Xiaoxiang Gang. While letting people go to the inn to keep an eye on him, he hurried to the county government to find Liu Xian and told him about the progress, Liu Xian suddenly retreated left and right, and shouted with a smile: "Third brother!" Huang Gai was stunned for a moment, then understood, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and bowed down and said, "Is the son the eldest brother or the second brother?" Liu Xian picked up Huang Gai and said with a smile: "Wenlong is the eldest brother. Third brother, you take the official to outflank the inn first, and I will go back to the house immediately to discuss with the eldest brother. β
While Huang Gai surrounded the inn with the officials, Liu Xian and Chen Long were discussing how to deal with the affairs of the Xiaoxiang Gang, and Zhang Ning asked Ma Yuanyi to quietly go to the county government. Ma Yuanyi sat in the teahouse opposite the county government, gave Xiao Er a big ingot of silver, only said that he was a businessman from other places, and wanted to invite General Xing Daorong to tea, and asked Xiao Er to find a way to hand over the silver to the doorman, let him say goodbye, and handed Xiao Er a silver ingot. That Xiao Er saw the money and opened his eyes, this teahouse is facing the county government, and there are often big businessmen here to meet with officials in private, and Xiao Er has long been familiar with these things.
Xing Daorong was leading people to patrol outside Liu Du's office, when suddenly a soldier who was guarding the door came over, and mysteriously reported that someone was waiting for him in the teahouse opposite. Waving off the small soldiers, Xing Daorong ordered his subordinates to guard carefully, and Shi Shiran walked into the teahouse by himself. Xiao Er glanced at it and shouted: "General Xing, please have a private room upstairs!" β
When Ma Yuanyi heard it, he knew that Xing Daorong was coming, so he quickly stood up. Xing Daorong stepped into the house, Ma Yuanyi instructed Xiao Er not to wait, then closed the door, bowed down and performed a unique etiquette of the Yellow Turban Army, saying: "Ma Yuanyi has seen the second protector." β
It turned out that Xing Daorong not only colluded with the Yellow Turbans, but also had already surrendered to the Yellow Turban Army, and was also named the second protector of the Yellow Turbans in Jingzhou by Zhang Jiao, a great sage and good teacher. As long as the Yellow Turban army is assembled, it will join forces inside and outside and take Lingling. Xing Daorong said in a low voice: "The siege date has been confirmed?" Ma Yuanyi said: "The holy woman said that she would attack the city in a big way in the next few days. At that time, General Xing can act cheaply, as long as he can take the north city gate, I will wait for the army to enter the city, and the capture of Lingling is just around the corner. β
Xing Daorong nodded slightly, he secretly took refuge in the Yellow Turban that day, and Zhang Mancheng, the commander of Jingzhou Daqu, promised to make himself the master of Lingling after the matter was completed. Now, the saint's clever plan to bring down her old rival Liu Xian first, but unfortunately she hasn't caught Chen Long yet, but it is estimated that she can't make any waves, and everything is under control. The hateful Liu Du Lao'er and Liu Xian'er, one day he can trample them under his feet and ravage them wantonly.
Ma Yuanyi coughed lightly, interrupting Xing Daorong's obscenity. Ma Yuanyi said in a low voice: "Today, there is something that still needs to be brought forward by the second protector. Li Le, the undercover agent we planted in the city, went to Yang Huai from the Anling Inn to do business today, and did not come back all day, somehow, the saint guessed that he might have been kidnapped, so the saint wanted to ask the second protector to pay attention to whether Huang Gai's people had tied up Li Le, and the general needed to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible. Also, Yang Huai is afraid that it is no longer safe, so please ask General Xing to arrange for Yang Huai to leave with us. β
Xing Daorong was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that Li Le and Yang Huai had revealed their identities, and this really had to be arranged as soon as possible. I am responsible for the internal security of this county, as long as time permits, it can naturally be arranged properly. He got up and asked, "Captain Ma, where will I look for you after I make arrangements?" Ma Yuanyi said an address, Xing Daorong arched his hand, and left the teahouse directly.
Besides, Liu Xian returned to the secret room to see Chen Long, and told him about the capture of Li Le, and Li Le's confession of collusion between the female guests and Yang Huai. Chen Longjian frowned slightly, and said: "Second brother, I think that the third brother has interrogated Li Le for so long, and the female guest must have guessed that Li Le had something wrong and must have fled." The third brother's trip this time is afraid that it will be in vain. Liu Xian said: "Then will I arrest Yang Huai immediately?" β
Chen Long pulled Liu Xian to sit down, sorted out the chaotic thoughts, and a bold plan came to mind. asked Liu Xiandao: "Second brother, do you have a map?" Liu Xian took out a thick silk silk from the bookshelf, and when he opened it, he saw a map of the situation of the mountains and rivers in Lingling.
Chen Long studied for a while, hit each other with both hands, and said to himself, "It should be possible." Liu Xian hurriedly asked Chen Long what he could do. Chen Long said slowly: "Second brother, who is guarding the North City Gate today?" "Liu was arrested first, and now the guard of the northern city is Liu Min, but at this time, the city gates have been closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
"In other words, if we are lucky, the female guest left late, and she should not have left the city yet." Chen Longxing's eyes lit up, his brain was running rapidly, and the corners of his good-looking mouth were crooked: "Second brother, you go back to the county government immediately, you just need to act like this." Liu Xian listened to it and nodded continuously. In the end, Chen Long asked Liu Xian to take a set of clothes for the servants, disguised as Liu Xian's guards and mixed out of the Gongzi Mansion, and after coming out, Liu Xian went straight to the county government, and Chen Long went straight to the Anling Inn.
Due to Li Le's arrest, all parties are running at high speed, racing against time to occupy a favorable situation. Let's talk about Chen Long first, he disguised himself as a servant and went to the inn, Huang Gai had already searched the inn, but he didn't find anything, he saw Chen Long coming, and led Chen Long into Zhang Ning's room again. Chen Long carefully investigated, and found nothing, only found a sweat towel for women at the foot of the bed, and there was a faint body fragrance, Chen Long picked it up and sniffed it, and finally put it in his arms. Huang Gai in the back saw a black line, and he couldn't imagine that the eldest brother still had this hobby.
Besides, Xing Daorong, when he came out of the teahouse, immediately transferred a team of people and horses, and personally led the team to the Anling Inn. After Huang Gaizheng and Chen Long surveyed the scene, they heard the brothers under him shouting that General Xing had arrived, and hurriedly went downstairs, but Chen Long slipped out of the back door without mentioning it. Xing Daorong looked at Huang Gai and said: "Gongfu, I heard that you arrested the Yellow Turban, and I am responsible for the security of this city, so transfer the prisoner to me." Huang Gai was shocked, but there was no reason not to hand it over, so he had to hand over the prisoner, thinking that with Yang Huai's clue anyway, Li Le's use would not be great.
In the county government, Liu Xian had already arrived at Liu Du's study and reported the whole incident to Liu Du, and Liu Du was shocked when he heard that Yang Huai was related to this matter. As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Daorong rushed in, and Yan Dao grabbed one of the spies of the Yellow Turban, who resisted arrest just now and was killed. Liu Xian smiled and said: "Congratulations to General Xing, I told my father just now, today Huang Gongfu also caught a spy at the Anling Inn, and confessed that the Yellow Turban spies and Yang Huai, the leader of the Xiaoxiang gang, had colluded, and this matter should be troubled by General Xing to deal with it quickly, capture that Yang Huai, and control the Xiaoxiang gang at the same time to prevent them from making trouble." β
Xing Daorong pretended to be taken aback and said: "Childe, just now I picked up a prisoner from Huang Gongfu, but halfway through this person injured the soldiers in custody and wanted to jump into the river to escape, but I was killed by an arrow." Unexpectedly, Yang Huai was also related to this matter, so I should immediately take someone to the headquarters of the Xiaoxiang Gang to arrest Yang Huai. Please keep your mind too much. Liu Du's fat cheeks kept shaking, showing his determination, and signaled Xing Daorong to act immediately, Xing Daorong heard the words and lifted the soldiers and horses.
Besides, Chen Long came out of the back door of the Anling Inn and went straight to Liu Yong's Mansion in the south of the city. It turned out that General Liu Yong, one of the four King Kongs who was responsible for guarding the southern city gate, was similar in age to Liu Xian, and he was a young man, and he actually controlled the power of Liu Xian's lineage, but Liu Xian's order was the first to look forward. That Liu Yong had already gotten Liu Xian's letter, and he had already made preparations, and when he heard that someone was looking for him, he knew that it was Chen Long who had arrived, so he personally came out to welcome him to the study. Chen Long saw that Liu Yong's face was like a crown of jade, his sword eyebrows were bright, his waist was thin, he was very enthusiastic and experienced in dealing with people, and he wore a heroic courage on his head. Chen Long didn't do much politely, changed into a military uniform prepared by Liu Yong, and turned into Liu Yong's guards, and the two directly took more than a dozen masters of the lineage and went out of the south city gate.
Besides, Xing Daorong struggled all the way, and finally reached the Xiaoxiang headquarters, and the soldiers shouted and rushed into the Xiaoxiang headquarters. Where else can I find Yang Huai? caught a few irrelevant Xiaoxiang Gang masters and other small fish and shrimp, and ordered someone to block the nearby waterways, and went directly back to the City Lord's Mansion to resume his life.
Chen Long and Liu Xian asked Xing Daorong to arrest Yang Huai, first, the security in the city could not avoid Xing Daorong's intervention, and second, they had other deep meanings, waiting for Xing Daorong to show his fox tail. Sure enough, Xing Daorong had already arranged the route for Yang Huai, Zhang Ning, and Ma Yuanyi to go out of the city, and now Yang Huai was in a flat boat, long before Xing Daorong blocked the waterway, he had already gone north along the Xiangshui. Yang Huai lay comfortably on the rocking bed in the cabin, passed by the cave after a while, picked up Ma Yuanyi and the saintess, and went all the way north and escaped smoothly. When the Yellow Turban army conquered Lingling the next day, his brother Xing Daorong became the lord of Lingling, and he could also make a deputy city lord to be the one.
