Chapter 237: Ruan Naito (3)
The next morning, while everyone was still asleep, the soldier who guarded the door was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. He quickly put on his clothes and opened the two heavy wooden doors of the guerrilla general's mansion.
"Who? This early morning is not ......" The doorman came to the door with sleepy eyes, complaining and complaining, but before he finished speaking, he was choked back by the scene outside the door.
Outside the gate, there were about 200 Dongchang soldiers dressed in brown clothes. I saw that they all looked majestic, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Go, tell you Lord Ma, Dongchang is in charge of thousands of households and asks to see him." Among the visitors, a lean middle-aged man wearing a round hat said in a low tone to the janitor standing in front of the door.
"Yes, sir. I'm going to report it. The janitor turned and ran through the door in a panic.
If Jinyiwei is the plague god, then Dongchang is the plague god among the plague gods. The janitor did not dare to slack off, and ran straight to the backyard to report to Ma Guiyu.
When Ma Gui buttoned his clothes and ran to the front yard in a panic, Fang Zhi had already led his 200 soldiers to stand in line in the open space next to the flower bed in the front yard of the guerrilla general's mansion.
"I don't know if Master Fang is here, and I am not welcome. I hope to forgive my sins, forgive my sins! Ma Gui quickly ran to the square handle and bowed his hand.
"Master Ma, don't be so polite. Fang was ordered by the Holy Lord to come to greet and protect the peace envoy of the Japanese State. I heard that they entered your guerrilla general's mansion last night. Fang came to disturb. Fang Shan's eyes looked at Ma Gui, with a domineering expression.
"Oh...... It's in my house, and I'm resting in the backyard. ”
"Then please go and wake them up."
"Okay, I'll go. Wait a moment. ”
Ma Gui turned around and ran to the backyard.
Fang Handle waved his hand at his subordinates and led his subordinates to follow.
Shen Weijing was the first to be woken up, and when he heard that it was someone from Dongchang who came to greet the peace envoy of the Japanese State, he hurriedly got dressed.
"Michiko, don't go out yet, don't let people outside see us sleeping together." When he went out, Shen Weijing instructed Michiko Kato, who was still lying on the bed.
"Yes. Got it. Michiko Kato was a little impatient.
Shen Weijing got dressed and walked into the courtyard.
When he was in North Korea, Shen Weijing and Fang Bing had a one-sided relationship, and later heard from Shi Lang's mouth about Fang Shan's transfer to Dongchang, so as soon as he saw Fang Shan, who was standing majestically in the middle of the courtyard, Shen Weijing immediately stepped forward and said, "Ouch, isn't this Lord Fang." I heard that you went to Dongchang High School, and it seems that you are doing well. ”
"Lord Shen, don't come unharmed." The square handle was neither lukewarm nor hot, and he simply arched his hand at Shen Weijing.
Although Shen Weijing is a peace envoy of the Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of the bright-eyed square handle, Shen Weijing is just a clown who jumps off the beam. In the process of greeting Shen Weijing, Fang Shank didn't look at Shen Weijing at all.
Looking at Fang Shan's arrogant expression, Shen Weijing suddenly had a feeling that his hot face was sticking to his cold ass, and he stood in place, a little embarrassed.
Just when Shen Weijing didn't know what to do, Ma Gui ran from the east, only to see sweat on his forehead, and reported to Fang Shanqi in a panic: "Lord Fang, it's not good, the peace envoy of the Japanese State is gone." ”
"What!" Hearing this, Fang Shan's eyebrows were angry, and he had a premonition that the matter was serious, "Search for me!" With a wave of his hand, he motioned for his men to do so.
The 200 Dongchang soldiers immediately scattered and searched the entire guerrilla general's mansion carefully.
In the entire house, no shadow of Naito Ruan was found.
After such a toss, the other entourages who participated in the discussion and peace were all dressed
and came to the courtyard. Everyone knew the news of Naito's disappearance, and for a while, an inexplicable fear enveloped everyone's hearts. No one dared to speak, and stood anxiously in the courtyard, watching the development of things.
Although they were not found, the three Dongchang officials found a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in a secret room.
"My lord, up and down the general's mansion, there is no shadow of the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom. In a secret room, several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were found. Several of the servants carried the jewels to the courtyard and placed them in front of the square handle.
"Ruan Naito is gone? What about the two women named Jia Jing and Jia Yun? Before Fang Zhi could speak, Shen Weijing became nervous first.
"It's gone. Ouch, how is this good? How were the three of them okay last night? Why is it all gone? After Ma Gui answered Shen Weijing's question, he stood nervously in place, rubbing his hands dryly.
At this time, Michiko Kato finished dressing and walked out of the room, and when she heard the news of Naito Ruan's disappearance, she analyzed: "I don't think those two goblins are a good thing. Most of Naito-kun was kidnapped by them. ”
"Lord Shen, this lady is ......" Fang Shant glanced at Michiko Kato and asked Shen Weijing.
"I forgot to introduce, this lady is a Wa Guo...... and the entourage of the envoys. Shen Weijing hesitated, but he still didn't dare to explain Michiko Kato's ninja identity to the other party.
In fact, even if Shen Weijing didn't say it, the shrewd square handle had already judged the identity of the other party from the ninja knife on the diagonal back of Michiko Kato. He didn't say anything more to Shen Weijing and Michiko Kato, but turned his head to Ma Gui, who was standing nervously aside, "Say it, Master Ma." What the hell is going on? ”
Two cold rays of light shot out of Fang Shan's eyes, forcing Ma Gui.
"Lord Fang, I, Ma Gui, have always been dutiful to the imperial court and loyal to the Holy Lord. I ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, who are Jia Jing and Jia Yun? Where did you get the envoys? Fang Handle was too lazy to listen to Ma Gui's nonsense, he suddenly pulled out the embroidered spring knife from his waist and pointed at Ma Gui.
"My lord, I really don't know what's going on. I was drinking together last night, why didn't I disappear this morning? ”
"Go, bring his family." Fang Zhi saw that Ma Gui did not admit it, so he commanded his subordinates.
After a while, three Dongchang officials escorted Ma Gui's wife and his two minor sons to their eyes.
"Master Ma, you can say it." Fang Zhi glanced at Ma Gui's two sons and said coldly to Ma Gui.
"My lord, I really ......"
"Pull his little son over." Ma Gui still wanted to deny it, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Fang Shan.
"Dad, I'm afraid."
A fan officer pulled Ma Gui's youngest son in front of the square handle and was forcibly held down.
Fang Handle raised the embroidered spring knife in his hand and pressed it against the boy's neck, "I'll count three, if you don't tell the truth, his head will fall to the ground." 1.2......"
When the square handle counted to "two", he raised the knife in his hand sharply.
"My child ......"
"Brother, mother......"
Ma Gui's wife screamed in fright and passed out. Another little boy lay on top of his mother and cried.
"Wait, I said." Ma Gui pounced and knelt down in front of the square handle.
"Tell the truth earlier, wouldn't there be this one?" The square handle put away the embroidered spring knife.
"A few days ago, several bandit-like men came to visit the house, and they carried two large wooden boxes. At first I ignored them. But when they opened the wooden box, it was full of gold, silver, and jewelry.
"I was a little moved and asked them what they were looking for me. I was Ben
I thought that these bandits were just trying to bribe me to turn a blind eye to their acts of robbing homes and houses, blocking roads and plundering money.
"But I never expected that they would ask me to assist them in kidnapping the envoys of the Japanese Parliament. As a guerrilla general, I certainly knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately rejected them.
"When they saw that I did not agree, they devised a plan, saying that they would have two young women whom they had looked for pretend to faint from hunger in front of my house, and that my wife should take them in. When the envoys arrived, I would just welcome the envoys into the palace and entertain them. The rest, they'll do it.
"If someone is held accountable afterwards, the blame will be placed on the two women. After listening to their plan, I was still moved. In the end, they agreed to their request.
"Now that I think about it, their plan seems to be thorough, but in fact it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Just imagine, I am a dignified court official, and someone disappeared in my house, how can I get out of it? It was because I was obsessed with money at the time that I did such a stupid thing that deserved to be killed! Woo, woo......" Ma Gui said the pain and cried.
"How did the bandits know that the peace envoys of the Japanese kingdom had passed through this place?" Fang Handle asked.
"Yes. I also wondered, how could a few little thieves be interested in the peace envoys of the Japanese state? ”
"You really don't know?"
"My lord, I have told you all I know. This knife is on my neck, give me 10,000 guts, and I don't dare to talk nonsense. ”
"What do those two women look like?"
"It's quite young, they themselves say they sing Kunqu Opera. The one named Jia Jing looks like a floating man. That Jia Yun is a little more stable, and she looks ......"
"Alright. Do you know where these bandits are located? ”
"Yes, yes. About ten miles south of my house, there is a hill called Toad Ridge, where the nest of this gang of thieves is located. ”
"Are you familiar with the road conditions from here to Toad Ridge?"
"Familiar."
"Okay, you will lead the way, and we will rush to Toad Ridge immediately." Without hesitation, Fang Shank put away the embroidered spring knife and prepared to leave.
"Lord Fang, then I'......" Shen Weijing didn't know if he should go with the team, so he asked Fang Shan.
"Lord Shen, you are tired from the journey, take a good rest here." Fang Handle said coldly to Shen Weijing.
"That's good, that's good." Shen Weijing couldn't wait to stay in the mansion, and when he heard Fang Shan's words, he quickly nodded in agreement.
"I'm going with you." Michiko Kato was not worried about Naito Ruan, and said to the other party.
"We have never liked outsiders to interfere in handling cases. Excuse me. Fang Handle has always been disgusted with the Japanese ninjas, and flatly rejected Michiko Kato's request.
"Our people of the Yamato nation have disappeared, and as a compatriot, I have an obligation to find him and help him get out of danger." Michiko Kato still stands by her opinion.
"Master Fang, why don't you let her follow. Maybe she'll be able to help. Shen Weijing helped Michiko Kato.
"Please!" Michiko Kato actually bowed deeply to the square handle.
Fang Handle was helpless, he didn't want to delay any longer, so he impatiently said to Michiko Kato: "Okay, let's go together." However, the ugly words are ahead, this operation, without my order, no one is allowed to act without permission, including you. ”
"Okay, everything is under your command." Michiko Kato is a person who has been trained in a strict team, and he can still understand and accept the requirements of the square handle.
Fang Shan left five Dongchang servants to take care of Ma Gui's family, and then, led the rest of the Dongchang personnel to rush to Toad Ridge.
