"Teacher, Lord Liu was not rescued this time, if the court punishes me, I can't be implicated."

"You don't have to worry about this matter, the teacher is the envoy of the Qin, how can you be guilty if something goes wrong, this Lord Liu's family will let the court give more money, no matter what, the three of us came out together, our master and apprentice are fine, but Lord Liu has an accident, it is estimated that those imperial histories are going to talk about us again."

"Then, teacher, what should we do next, whether to inform the imperial court first, or continue to move towards Xuanfu, and what about these thieves."

"Well, now let's interrogate these thieves first, and then 'hand' this task to you, I will draft a note to the emperor, and tell the emperor in detail what happened tonight. General Wu, you can take someone to check the losses of our soldiers, whether they are wounded or killed, and the pension will be doubled on the basis of your barracks. You also have to reassure the soldiers, the guard tonight cannot be loosened, to prevent thieves from slipping through the net, those houses that have not been burned down by the inn, but also carefully search, to see what else will be found, do you understand? ”

Wu Dashan and I replied with feelings: "I understand." ”

"That's good, now everyone does their own thing, General Wu, I will occupy your Chinese military tent first, and you can arrange a tent for Lan Yunjie to interrogate these thieves, and you can also arrange those entourage, and after the fire is extinguished, send someone to put away Lord Liu's ashes and let their family take them back to the capital."

After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, Wu Dashan and I retreated with interest, and the entourage who followed in also brought the post out, and only Zhang Juzheng was left in the tent who wanted to write a recital for the emperor.

"Lord Lan, you come with me, I'll find you two tents, one for you, and the other for your entourage, now the tent is tight, everyone is going to squeeze tonight, Lord Lan don't be surprised."

"What's the matter, General Wu, you and I are both military generals, and I also know that this sudden incident caught you and me off guard, but this is also a good thing, so that in the next journey, the soldier's vigilance 'sex' will be raised, and he will not be as defenseless as today."

"Yes, Lord Lan is right, how about you look at this?" Wu Dashan led me to a slightly smaller tent next to the tent of the Chinese army and said.

"General Wu, I am following your arrangement, and I can do it here."

Wu Dashan opened the curtain of the tent' 'door', I also followed in, there was no one inside, the space was big enough, there was a 'bed' on the ground I don't know what kind of 'fur' mattress, and quilt, the huge tent was this person's luggage, I asked: "General Wu, whose tent is this, why do you live here alone." ”

"Lord Lan, this is Ge Qianhu's tent, I'll let him go and squeeze with the soldiers tonight, Lord Lan, you can use their luggage."

Wu Dashan arranged to leave the big tent, and Lao Liu, who was holding the post behind me, asked, "Young master, is it time to ask him?" ”

"Okay, let's start asking, Brother Liu, take off the rag that gags his mouth." It turned out that when the soldiers tied him up, they watched him shout and put a footcloth in his mouth that he didn't know who.

There were no chairs or stools in the tent, so I sat in Ge Qianhu's luggage and began the interrogation.

"What's your name, where are you, and why did you stab us at the inn?"

After I finished asking, where was the Yicheng silent and didn't speak, Lao Liu saw that he didn't speak, and slapped him on the head and said, "You are deaf, what do we adults ask you about." ”

Lao Liu finished fighting, the man still didn't speak, Lao Liu slapped again, this time it's good, the Yicheng fell directly to the ground, foaming at the mouth. I didn't know what the situation was, I thought it was Lao Liu who hit him hard, and said to Lao Liu: "Brother Liu, don't beat him, if he is killed, we can't ask." ”

Lao Liu squatted down and wanted to drag him up, who knows, there were more and more white foam in the man's mouth, and there was a foul smell coming, Lao Liu shouted: "Young master is not good, this guy committed suicide by taking poison." ”

"It's impossible, Brother Liu, how can you take poison with these two hands tied." I stood up and came to the side of the post man who fell to the ground, and under the light, the face of the post man was already blackened, and the person was finished.

"Brother Liu, what's going on, how did this poisonous 'medicine' come about, there are too many poisonous 'sex', and he died so soon."

"Young master, they all complain about my carelessness, I used to see this when I was in Jinyiwei, some chivalrous people, that's it, they are afraid of being tortured after being caught, so they shouted a poisonous 'medicine' in their mouths, and when they really can't escape, they bite through the shell of the poisonous 'medicine', so that they will die of poison, this is also my carelessness, I didn't expect this person to be like this, it is said that he should have committed suicide by taking poison just now, I don't know why he waited until now to bite through."

Don't say that Lao Liu is suspicious of 'confusion', everyone is suspicious of 'confusion', even the post man who died on the ground is also suspicious of 'confusion', his mouth is poisonous 'medicine', but he doesn't want to die yet, or he wouldn't have run out of the sea of fire just now, no one wants to die, unless it comes to the point where he really can't live, this post man also thinks so, he knows that we won't kill him, as long as he doesn't say who he assigned, if we want to find the mastermind behind the scenes, we have to keep him, who knows, his wishful thinking is wrong. He had a poisonous 'medicine' in his mouth, because he was afraid of swallowing it into his stomach, so he bit it gently with his upper and lower teeth, but he didn't expect that Lao Liu's slap from behind caught him off guard, and as soon as his upper and lower teeth were forced, the poisonous 'medicine' was bitten through.

This guy is resentful of death, it is estimated that when he got to Lord Yama, he couldn't tell how he died, and the two of us were also confused, this interrogation of the prisoner, the prisoner didn't say a word, and died, how to 'communicate' with Zhang Juzheng for a while.

"Young master, what should I do, what will Master Zhang say when he asks in a while."

"Forget it, just say that he committed suicide by taking poison, now let people carry him out first, and then call the others in, in order to prevent them from taking poison and committing suicide, you can open your mouth and check it, you can't let them die again."

Lao Liu went out and called Liu Lianjiang out, the father and son took off the dead body, and after a while, Lao Liu brought a thief in, and after the man came in, he was not very hard, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "The adult spares his life, and the little one says all." ”

"Okay, you can answer whatever the official asks you, you also saw the fate of the person just now, he was poisoned by me, why, it's not good to talk, you have to figure it out, whether your life is important, or it's fun to die."

"Adults, don't worry, the small ones will be recruited truthfully." Kowtow to the ground as he spoke.

"What's your name, where are you from, what are you doing here, who is the person dressed as a postman, and when did you come, it turned out that the people from the inn went there, you have to tell the truth, if you don't say it, hum, hum......"

"The adult and the small one is called Lin Xiong, the home is outside the Shanhaiguan, because it is located at the border with the alien race, we can't live, and it is not enough to grow some food every year to be robbed by those aliens, and in the end there is no way, the young and strong people in our village discussed it, pulled up the pole, and set up a village in Qinglong Mountain, a hundred miles away from Su Town. Who knows, a while ago came a Qi Jiguang, let the officers and soldiers take us to practice, to clear us, our cottage was originally hundreds of people, was beaten like this and dispersed, we left forty or so, ran to the mountains to hide, 20 days ago, we saw a group of people on the road, we were really hungry, so we wanted to rob them, who knows, they all know kung fu, we were all caught. ”

Hearing this, I said, "Stop, you said you met a group of people, how many people were in that group, and whether the leader was an old man." "I guess that group of people may be Lan Guangyong, so I want to ask this first.

"My lord, there are more than thirty people in that group, and the leader is not an old man, but a young man, and I heard them call him the head of the family."

At this moment, I'm 'blind', isn't it Lan Guang who uses them, why is the leader a young man, is it that I guessed wrong, just when I was doubting', that Lin Xiong said again: "My lord, I remember, don't look at the head of the family is the young man, but the one who has the final say is an old man, tall and thin, and the head of the house calls him Uncle Lan." ”

It turned out that Lan Guang really used them, but who is the head of the family, it won't be my cheap brother, no, that cheap brother, although I haven't seen it, but I heard the cheap dad say that he didn't come out of the house that day, and he was killed by the explosion, but who is the young man Lan Guangyong is with, why is he called the head of the family? ”

"My lord, shall I continue if I am alright?" Lin Xiong interrupted my musings and asked me.

"Okay, you go on, be more detailed."

"After those people caught us, the old man first asked us the details, and then told us that if we followed them, not only would we have money to 'spend', but also officials in the future, and we thought it was a good thing at that time, so we agreed together, and they left two people to lead us, and the person who died just now was one of them, and also left a lot of silver, and one of us first sent ten taels of silver, just a few days ago, suddenly the young man who left sent someone back to contact us. I don't know what they said, but anyway, the leader brought us here, and arrested all the people in the inn, and one of the heads carried them to the mountains, and the dead head took us to stay. He also told us that if there was a messenger from the imperial court to Xuanfu, no matter who it was, as long as we killed him, we could go back, and when we returned, we would have ten taels of silver to take. ”

At the beginning, I always thought that this was done by the 'Yin' Demon Sect, or the 'Meng' ancients, but I didn't expect that it was Lan Guang who was planning behind the scenes.
