"Brother Zheng means ......" Xu Zheng said: "They will definitely send the woman hiding in the granary out of the city secretly, as long as we follow the vine, we will definitely find the whereabouts of the others." ”

Hearing Xu Zheng's words, everyone present nodded one after another, thinking that Xu Zheng was reasonable.

Liu Buxin frowned and said, "Brother Zheng, Your Majesty only gives us three days." ”

"Don't get in the way, today is only the first day, we still have two days to go, if the deadline is really up, and the other party has not moved, we will force the Xiping granary, and how many can be rescued."

"Yes! Brother Zheng! ”

Xu Zheng arranged manpower to lurk near the Xiping granary, keeping an eye on every move of the granary.

On the first day there was no word, and on the second day the granary remained silent, until on the morning of the third day, four wagons came out of the granary.

The carriage was pulling bamboo baskets one by one, which were so high that when you looked at them, some of the bamboo baskets were filled with grain, some were filled with vegetables, and some were loaded with meat.

Xu Zheng, Liu Buxin and others, who had been in ambush near the granary for two days, saw this, and their eyes lit up.

Xu Zheng waved his hand to his subordinates, signaling everyone not to be nervous, not to be too excited, to pretend that nothing happened, just staring at these carriages from afar.

The four carriages left the Xiping granary, went all the way south, and went straight to Anmen in the south of Chang'an.

To cut a long story short, after the four carriages arrived at the Anmen, soldiers guarding the city gate stepped forward.

A middle-aged man in charge of escorting the car stepped forward with a smile on his face, handed over a roll of parchment documents to the military marquis of the city gate, nodded and said, "Master Jun, these are the food and tribute sent to Guanji.

There are four carts in total, with 20 baskets of grain, 5 baskets of vegetables, 3 baskets of chickens, ducks, pigs and mutton, and 2 baskets of miscellaneous items, totaling 30 baskets. ”

The military marquis of the city gate took the parchment paper, which had detailed details and was stamped with the seal of the official.

Take the details and compare them with the bamboo baskets on the carriage, yes, it is indeed thirty baskets.

After seeing it, the military marquis of the city gate returned the sheepskin document to the middle-aged man, stepped aside, waved his hand and said, "Let go!" ”

"Thank you, Master Jun! Thank you, Master Jun! ”

The middle-aged man bowed politely, and then said to the driver who was driving the car: "Go!" ”

The four carriages, which were not searched, went out of Anmen smoothly and headed south to Guanji.

When you get to the outside of the city, especially on the road of Guanji, pedestrians are very rare, and if Xu Zheng and others are still following behind, it is too easy to be discovered.

Liu Buxin said: "Brother Zheng, you all stay away, I'll follow quietly behind, and I will make marks along the way." ”

Xu Zheng knew that Liu Buxin's ability to hide was extremely strong, and if it was said that there was no one more capable of tracking targets.

He said with a solemn face: "Be more careful on the road, you can stay away from the other party, but don't lose it!" ”

"My subordinates understand!"

Liu Buxin nodded, said goodbye to Xu Zheng and the others, and followed the four carriages.

Leaving Chang'an and entering the suburbs, the speed of the four carriages increased significantly, and the people who drove the carriages also became vigilant, looking around from time to time.

Walking to the last carriage, in addition to the coachman who drove the carriage, there were four other people sitting.

One of them craned his neck, looked back, and asked, "Is there someone following us from behind?" ”

When the other three heard this, they all craned their necks to look over.

I don't know if it doesn't have such good eyes as him, the three of them looked at it for a long time, but they didn't see anything, and one of them muttered: "Old five, are you wrong?"

Nothing! ”

"I shouldn't be mistaken, it seems to be ...... There was really a figure shaking. ”

At this time, the middle-aged man walked over, his face was expressionless, his eyes were like electricity, he glanced at them coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you talking about?" ”

"The shopkeeper, the fifth said that someone seemed to be following us behind, but I didn't see it with the sixth and eighth children."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly looked behind, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything.

The man who called Lao Wu scratched his head and whispered, "The shopkeeper may also ...... Maybe I'm wrong! ”

"Beware of the Ten Thousand Year Ship! Now, we can't afford to be sloppy at all! ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man stopped all four carriages, pointed to a few big men and said, "Fifth, sixth, eighth, ninth, you go to the back and have a look, if someone is really following us, ...... said, the middle-aged man stared, raised his hand and made a cross-cutting gesture in front of his neck.

The four of them agreed, bowed in unison, and then jumped out of the carriage and walked to the rear.

The four of them scattered, two walking on the official road and the other two walking in the grass under the official road, while all four of them had raised their right hands and grasped the swords under their ribs.

They walked more than a mile forward, and when they looked back, there was only a small black spot left on the side of the carriage, but when they got here, there was still no one as far as their eyes could see.

A big man said in a deep voice: "Old Five, are you really dazzled?

We've all come so far and still haven't seen anything! ”

Lao Wu continued to walk forward silently, and the other three looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and had to continue to follow him.

After walking half a mile and arriving at a big tree, Lao Wu raised his eyes to look around, and muttered in a low voice: "Just now, I saw that figure is near here!" ”

The other three raised their eyes and looked around, there was a flat river here, even the grass, it was only the surface of people's feet, and there was no hiding from people at all.

The sixth gave him a blank look, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, fifth brother, don't toss people, there is not even a ghost here, but you are wrong and dazzled." ”

After looking for a long time, he didn't find anything, and the fifth child was a little reluctant, scratched his head, and said, "Maybe...... I guess I was wrong! It's been so intense! ”

"In my opinion, it's really not good, you can go back to Longdi!"

Lao Wu gave him a blank look.

Lao Wuhuo seemed to have been stepped on by someone's tail, and said angrily: "Returning to Longdi without doing anything, what face do I have to see the king?" ”

The sixth shrugged, didn't answer again, waved to the eighth and ninety-one, and the three turned around and walked back.

The fifth child unwillingly glanced around again, but still found nothing, he gritted his teeth, kicked the trunk of the tree next to him, and turned back.

They were gone for a long time, until there were only four small black dots left in the figure of the four men, and there was a rattling sound from the branches of the trees, and then one of them slipped down from the tree.

He stood behind a tree, poked out half his head, and looked ahead.

This is the same Liu Buxin who secretly followed them.

Liu Buxin narrowed his eyes, these people were bigger than he imagined.

They are not ordinary thieves, but from Longdi, so the king they are talking about can only be Kui Huan.

In this way, the Xiping granary has long been a hustle and bustle, and this nail is buried deep enough! However, a nail buried so deep can obviously make a big difference in the future, why take such a big risk now to kidnap the woman in Chang'an City?

Liu Buxin recalled the whole case, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly figured it out.

They secretly kidnapped the woman in Chang'an, and deliberately left the hair of the beast at the scene, which was obviously a false accusation to blame the Son of Heaven.

If the disappearance case is not stopped, the rumors will become more and more intense, and at that time, the fame and reputation of the Son of Heaven will inevitably be greatly damaged.

At that time, Kui Huan will attack again, and his own internal and external difficulties will be difficult, and the situation can be imagined.

Thinking about the tricks used by Kui Huan, Liu Buxin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The other party was too cautious, and he could only narrow the distance of tracking again.

An hour later, four carriages arrived at Guanji.

Liu Buxin lay on his stomach in the nearby grass, covered with a layer of green gauze, so that his whole body blended into the grass.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Guanji for a while, and then the gate of Guanji opened, and a group of people came out of it, led by Wu Qing, the official order.

The official ordered this official, no matter how small it is, it is also an official, and the shopkeeper of the Xiping granary, no matter how big he is, he is also a businessman.

It stands to reason that the shopkeeper of the Xiping granary should be respectful to Wu Qing, but what Liu Buxin saw was not the case at all.

Wu Qing walked out of the gate of Guanji, saw the shopkeeper outside, stepped forward quickly, bowed to the ground, and smiled all over his face.

The shopkeeper put his hands behind his back and just nodded in return.

After that, the two muttered and muttered, the distance was too far for Liu Buxin to hear what the two of them were talking about.

After a while, after the two finished talking, Wu Qing beckoned to the back, and several officials walked to the second carriage, they first moved down the baskets of vegetables pressed on it, but did not carry them away, and then, from the bottom of the carriage, moved out two large baskets.

On the surface, it was filled with corn, but when the top layer was removed, and then into the basket, there was a woman in each of the two bamboo baskets.

Both women had their hands and feet tied, their mouths gagged to death, and their eyes covered with strips of black cloth.

Seeing these two women, none of the people present, including Wu Qing, showed surprise, and it seemed that they had long been accustomed to it.

Two burly servants dragged the two women out of the bamboo baskets, carried them on their shoulders, and then strode into the official camp.

Liu Buxin, who was hiding in the grass, could see clearly, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

He thought that the Xiping granary must have a response outside the city, but what he never dreamed of was that it would be Guanji who would receive the Xiping granary.

How did Guan Ji get together with Kui Huan's meticulous work?

Could it be that the official has also been bought off by the hustle and bustle?

Thinking of this, Liu Buxin gasped, not long ago during the Autumn Society Festival, His Majesty almost had dinner at Guanji.

If the food is poisonous, the consequences are really unimaginable! He grinned secretly, his eyes narrowed.

On the Guanji side, after the two big men carried the woman in, the others began to carry the basket and carried all the baskets of grain into the Guanji.

Wu Qing's face was happy from beginning to end, rubbing his hands, and he didn't know what to say to the shopkeeper.

Seeing that the bamboo baskets were all carried into the official camp, the shopkeeper took out two gold cakes from his belt and slapped them in Wu Qing's hands.

Later, he took two gold cakes, and the smile on his face was even stronger, and he nodded at the shopkeeper, like a dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy.

After transporting all the baskets into the official camp, the shopkeeper's subordinates came out one after another, and then the people got into the carriage and returned to Chang'an the same way.

Wu Qing stood in front of the gate of Guanji and waved his hand to the departing carriage.

The four carriages returning to Chang'an walked completely in front of the place where Liu Buxin was lying down.

And none of the people sitting in the carriage noticed that there was a person hidden in the grass on the side of the road.

The carriage had passed a long way, but Liu Buxin still maintained a posture and did not move.

I don't know how long it was, maybe half an hour, or maybe an hour or two, Liu Buxin heard footsteps not far away.

He lifted the green gauze on the top of his head slightly, looked up slightly, and saw a group of people coming from Chang'an, led by Xu Zheng.

As they walked forward, they looked around, as if they were looking for someone.

Who else could it be?

Naturally, he was looking for him, and Liu didn't believe it.

When everyone had already walked up to him, Liu Buxin suddenly squatted up from the ground.

Seeing a piece of grass, a big bag suddenly bulged, which startled Xu Zheng and the others.

When Liu Buxin put down the green gauze covering his body, everyone could see clearly that it was him.

Xu Zheng stepped forward quickly with surprise and joy and asked, "Don't believe it, how did you find out?"

Do you see it clearly? ”

Liu Buxin waved his hand to Xu Zheng and the others, motioning for them all to squat down.

Then, he said in a low voice: "The Xiping granary is indeed to transport people out, and the person who receives it is the official Ji, in addition, the Xiping granary is not simple, it should be a hidden pile placed in Chang'an." ”

The amount of information in his words was too much, and Xu Zheng and the others couldn't come back to their senses for a while.
