Chapter 180: The thief shouts to catch the thief

Flying Crossing

The night was already quite deep, and when He Ji, who was in the big tent of the Chinese army, began to plan to rest, the voice of the guard at the door came in,

"General, He Baihu, the right guard of Chengdu, said that he would like to see you."

He Ji estimated that He Liu came over at this time, it should be something urgent, so he hurriedly picked up the big coat beside the bed and draped it on his body, and said to the soldier on duty at the door: "Let him come in." ”

He Liu hurriedly opened the curtain of the tent door and walked in, "Uncle, something happened!" ”

He Ji knew that Bacheng was from the north, so he glanced at him, "Follow me inside." ”

The two of them mysteriously turned to the inside of the big tent one after the other.

"What's wrong?"

"In the afternoon, I received a letter from the palace, asking us to advance the agreed time."

He Ji's brows furrowed when he heard what he said,

"Still in advance? How can it be advanced, now we are not in Lanzhou in Qingcheng, even according to the previous time, I can't guarantee to return to Lanzhou, what to take in advance? ”

As He Liu spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to He Ji's hand.

"Uncle, look, this is a letter sent by the people in the palace in the afternoon."

He Ji took the letter from He Liu's hand, opened it and looked at it carefully, then he took the letter and turned to the front of the desk, and took out a small porcelain bottle from nowhere, which seemed to contain a liquid that was the same as the same transparency, which he dripped into the lower right corner of the letter.

The lower right of the originally empty object suddenly appeared as if it had been baked by fire, and several charred black symbols disappeared in an instant.

He Ji nodded, "That's right, this is indeed a letter from the palace, it seems that it is what the prince meant." ”

"Uncle, what should we do then?" He Liu looked very anxious,

He Ji turned around and sat in front of the bookcase, rubbed his forehead with his hand, and seemed to be thinking hard about countermeasures.

"Uncle, I think we have to tell the palace about the situation here, and let them think of a way, otherwise how can we act if we are not transferred back to Lanzhou?"

He Ji thought about his nephew's words, and then said with a heavy "um": "What you said makes sense, Wang Jing is far away from here, maybe the news is slow, don't say that we are not doing well when the matter is not done, you go and call the people in the palace now, and tell them the actual situation." ”

He Liu nodded, and then continued with some worry: "Uncle, why don't you send them a message from the north?" At least let them know that they can't act for the time being, otherwise don't look back, they're all doing it, we're still watching the excitement in this Qingcheng. ”

"Well, you're quite thoughtful, without further ado, I'll write it now, and you will pass it out overnight."

"Good!"

The two of them stayed in the big tent of the Chinese army for half a pillar of incense, and they saw He Liu holding a small wooden lump similar to a Luban lock in his hand, and hurriedly ran out of the summer army camp on the south bank of Feilingdu.

West of Qingcheng City

The west of this small county town is mostly occupied by some merchants, and it was quite lively when it turned out, but the war was together, and some foreign businesses simply left the city, but many people in the city started some small businesses are still struggling to support, no way, always have to support their families.

However, An Yi was still in cautious consideration, and asked the Qingcheng County Order to inform all the vendors that they must close after the sun sets, otherwise they will be punished as collaborators.

Therefore, when the row of small shops under the root of the city arrives at this time, even the moon is about to rest, whether it is a teahouse or a restaurant, one by one the door panels are stacked, people go to the building is empty, and this street in the west of the city is empty at night.

But tonight, it seems that something is unusual,

A dark shadow slipped out of the darkness at the corner of the street, and privately probed the street, as if to confirm that there was no one before sneaking along the street until he reached the front of the Ji family's pharmacy, and gently knocked on the door panel with his hand very rhythmically, it sounded like some kind of code,

After a while, someone in the store took down the door panel and let the man in black get in, and then he poked his head out to reconfirm that no one was following him, and then closed the door panel tightly.

The man who entered the pharmacy gave him a night suit, and let the man who opened the door for him lead him into the back room.

"Sixth son, what are you looking for me in the middle of the night?"

The man who entered the door took off the mask covering his face and said to the six sons who were sitting around the round table,

This man in black is none other than the comfortable Lao Zhang who met the comfortable old Zhang in Sushuichuan with his six sons that day.

He Liu, who was pacing back and forth in the room, seemed to have been anxiously waiting for a long time, saw him come in, and only then did he pick up the wooden lump he had just obtained from He Ji from the table and handed it to Lao Zhang.

"Lao Zhang, the old place tonight, handed to the north overnight, don't delay! 100,000 urgent! ”

Lao Zhang didn't dare to slack off when he looked at He Liu's anxious face, so he quickly put on the mask again, and asked him casually when he was leaving: "Aren't you going together?" ”

He Liu shook his head, "My uncle is looking for me and there are other people, so I will entrust you with this matter, go quickly!" ”

Lao Zhang didn't doubt him, so he nodded heavily and turned around and walked out of the room.

The street outside the Ji family pharmacy was still quietly pitch black, and Lao Zhang vigilantly swept the empty two rows of shops with his eyes, and then walked back along the same road, planning to return to his residence first, and then wait until the weather was cold before looking for a chance to get out of the city.

He had just turned the corner when a large net of hemp rope fell from the sky!

"Take that thing from his hand down for me."

Immediately afterwards, a group of officers and soldiers jumped out of the night, and at a glance they saw the wooden pimple in his hand.

Of course, Lao Zhang knew the importance of what he had in his hand, and he desperately wanted to hold it in his hand, but he was in the big net, even if he had the strength to make it, he couldn't use it, plus the three steel knives on his neck, the little bit of strength left in his hand was slowly released.

Jin Mingyin walked over and looked at the man in black in the net, and asked, "You are that old Zhang, right?" ”

Lao Zhang didn't answer, staring at Jin Mingyin with his big bloodshot eyes,

Jin Mingyin chuckled at him, "It's okay if you don't speak, someone can make you speak." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to the Hu Yuhua brothers and sisters behind him, "This person will be handed over to the two of you, and the adults have an order to let him spit out everything he knows." ”

The two siblings arched their hands at him: "Obey!" ”

Although Hu Yuhua is short, his strength is indeed not small, he stepped forward and tied Lao Zhang up strongly, and then picked him up like a chick.

After the two brothers and sisters took the old Zhang away, Jin Mingyin weighed the wooden lump in his hand twice, and looked carefully up and down by the light of the torch.

"It's a complicated thing, but I just like to fiddle with these tenon and tenon knick-knacks."

He put the wooden lump into his arms, and looked at the Ji family pharmacy as if he had a deep meaning, and then waved at the soldiers behind him.

"Let's go, let's go back!"

..........................

early morning

As soon as the sky was bright, when Ah Yi walked out of the camp tent, he saw Meng Qi mobilizing troops and horses.

"General Meng, do we have a war to fight today?"

Meng Qi smiled at him, "You're just in time, go, come with me." ”

Before, Meng Qi was still angry about losing under Ah Yi's gun, but after An Yi sent him to himself, after many days of contact, he felt more and more that this Ah Yi not only has superb marksmanship, but also is clever, diligent in his hands and feet, and most importantly, he has a flexible head, which is very pleasing to him, so Meng Qi likes to take Ah Yi with him whether he is patrolling or doing things.

"There is no war today, take you to get people!"

"Take people?"

Ah Yi didn't know who Meng Qi was going to take, so he also led a horse and followed Meng Qi's cavalry team to Feilingdu.

The commander of the Chengdu Left Guard He on the side of the Feilingdu camp had just gotten up, and his stomach was so suffocated that the urine had not yet been emptied, and he saw Jin Mingyin with a team of cavalry coming from afar towards his camp.

He Ji didn't know what Jiang Shang meant by sending cavalry over, and thought that there was a war, so he hurriedly dressed up and walked out of the camp gate, and arched his hand towards Meng Qi with a smile: "I don't know why General Meng came to my camp so early?" ”

Meng Qi didn't have a smile on his face, and sat on his horse and said loudly to him: "According to the order of the guerrilla general, it has been verified that He Ji, the commander of the Chengdu Left Guard, is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and He Ji is now suspended from the post of commander of the guard, and Zhao Lingfeng, a thousand households of the Chengdu Left Guard, temporarily acts as the commander of the guard, and continues to command the Chengdu Left Guard to garrison Fei Lingdu!" ”

After speaking, he waved his hand behind him,

"Take people!"

He Ji's head went blank after hearing this, how did he know that Meng Qi came to get him in the morning, could it be that He Liu was arrested last night?

"Wronged! I'm not guilty! ”

Anyway, it doesn't matter if you think about it clearly at this time, the important thing is to shout wrongs first.

The two cavalrymen behind Meng Qi turned over and dismounted, and they restrained He Ji neatly, and then a group of cavalry turned their horses and hurried away in the direction of Qingcheng...........

Qingcheng County Ya

This usually deserted small county Yali is lively today, there are many people outside the public hall who are watching the excitement, and there are two people who are tied up by five flowers kneeling in the hall, one is He Ji, and the other is Lao Zhang,

He Ji's cry along the way, the whole city was about to hear it, but the moment Meng Qi's cavalry walked up to the public hall and saw Lao Zhang kneeling next to him, the confidence that had just been hysterical was all leaked out at once.

Lao Zhang didn't know what he was tortured all night with, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and there was still a trace of dry blood at the corner of his mouth.

Although He Ji lost the confidence to shout grievances, he was still calm, and looked around at these pro-soldiers with crotch knives, as if he didn't find He Liu's figure, but he didn't know what Lao Zhang said or didn't say in the court, and he didn't dare to ask, wondering if this kid had run away?

An Yi behind the hall saw that all the people who should have come came, glanced at Jin Mingyin, and closed the door of the county government heavily, this kind of thing does not need the participation of the people.

As soon as the door closed, the hall fell silent all of a sudden, and there was silence under the large plaque hanging high in the mirror.

Lao Zhang seemed to have given up resistance, and sat on the ground with a dead face, this kind of thing was held, and if it was serious, it would be full of foreign countries, even if it was light, there was no reason to save this life.

But He Ji next to him was still thinking about how to get rid of the crime, and the red face that was originally like Guan Erye was even more red and shiny when he was in a hurry, and a pair of small eyes looked at the hall with a dripping look, thinking that when he came to comfort this time, he would first see what he knew, and then find a way to throw it at He Liu and Lao Zhang.

But

When the chief judge in the hall came up, he was dumbfounded, and even Lao Zhang, who was watching next to him who was only half breathing, glared at his bloodshot eyes again, staring at the people in the hall with some eyes.

The county magistrate's big chair was sitting on no one else, it was actually ......

Ho Six!
