On the sixth day of the lunar month, Yang Yuanyin, the commander of the army stationed in the Caozhou camp, sent an order to the Sanzhou garrison after discussion, asking the generals of each army to go to the Caozhou camp to discuss matters. Zhao Hede, the deputy envoy of the Qing Navy in charge of military affairs, was also invited.

This is exactly what Li Mao expected, and it seems that Mo Qi's magical powers are worth the trip.

Shang Helai felt a lot of pressure, he had already received the news that Li Zhenke was coming to Caozhou, and was thinking about how to deal with it, when he suddenly received this order from Yang Yuanyin, and he suddenly felt hesitant. Shang Helai knew that his prestige was not enough to suppress the three armies, and if he lost the card of Zhao Hede in his hand, the Qing navy would immediately fall apart, and at that time, not only would he be unable to resist the Pinglu army, but he would also be unable to protect himself. But if Zhao Hede is not let go, what excuse will he find to prevaricate.

Dong He, the deputy general of the Ma Army, said: "Yang Dutou, just say that Zhao Hede is seriously ill and can't go." ”

Shang He said, "So, what if he sends someone to visit?" ”

Dong He smiled: "That's not simple, give him a pair of medicines, let him fall asleep and not wake up, who can see the details?" Shang Helai nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It's not proper, it's not proper, if you know that he can't be a director, how about Li Shigu borrowing the donkey from the slope and sending another person over?" Dong He smiled: "How can my brother be confused, Gushan Town is our territory, whoever comes is not your dish?" He immediately asked the secretary of the army to repair the book and reply to Yang Yuanyin, claiming that Zhao Hede was ill and could not attend the meeting.

When the news reached Li Mao's ears, Li Mao called Qingmo and asked, "Has the culvert been opened, when can people be saved?" Qingmo said: "It's all through, but I haven't used it for a long time, there is a strange smell in it, and people will be dizzy and nauseous after staying in it for a long time." Li Mao said: "Open the seal, ventilate first, and then prepare a carriage, and once you rescue the people, they will be sent out of the city immediately." ”

Qingmo hesitated for a moment and said, "Ma Hedong and Chen Lan are unreliable, Feng Bu is stared at by him, in case there is a mistake, it is not a joke." ”

Li Mao smiled and said, "You prepare a carriage first, I have my own way." ”

Hearing that Zhao Hede was seriously ill, Yang Yuanyu immediately sent his staff officer Zhou Yage to come to condole, and the clerk said to Shang He Lai and others: "Zhou Yage's mind is extremely meticulous, and he must be carefully prepared, and he must not be allowed to peep into the flaws." He recommended Xun Bin to Shang He and asked him to arrange it. Xun Bin thought about it carefully, and suggested that Shang Helai move Zhao Hede back to Xinglongfang's home, Zhao Hede has children, daughters and wives, and it is unreasonable to be seriously ill and not recuperate at home. Shang Helai was a little worried, and Xun Bin persuaded: "As long as his biological mother is detained in the military courtyard, I am not afraid that he will be disobedient." ”

Zhao Hede's family was poor when he was young, his parents gave him away, and after he grew old, he took his biological mother back to live with him, and he was extremely filial to his mother. Shang He came to hear that he was going to use his mother as a threat, and he immediately looked down on Xun Bin in his heart, but there was no way to find a plan in this situation now, so he agreed against his will.

Zhou Yage saw Zhao Hede on the sickbed in Zhao Hede's house in Longqingfang, and saw that his wife and children were guarding the left and right, and he was not suspicious, and after saying a few words, Zhao Hede coughed, and his two sons hurriedly asked Zhou Yage to leave. Zhou Yage came to the front hall with a gloomy face, and said to Duan Yingya, Wen Cheng, Shang Helai and others beside him: "I heard that there is a Doctor Ge in Gushan Town, why don't you invite him to come to treat Deputy Envoy Zhao?" Shang Helai was shocked when he heard this, he didn't think about this. Xun Bin was confident, grabbed the conversation and said: "Life and death are in the sky, and the divine doctor is a human after all, and there is no way to return to the sky." ”

Zhou Yage's brows tightened, and he said unceremoniously: "To put it mildly, people are sick like this, dead horses are regarded as live horse doctors, it is fate, defeat is luck, why do you care so much?" ”

Dong He hurriedly said: "This statement is reasonable, I will go and ask Doctor Ge." ”

Soon after Dong He went, he brought a white-haired Langzhong, and Xun Bin introduced Zhou Yage: "This is Doctor Ge." The old man claimed to himself: "The little old man is Ge Rixiu, dare to ask which general wants to see a doctor." The clerk said angrily: "Bastard, are you blind, there is the one lying on the bed." ”

The old man was taken aback, nodded and went into the back room. Zhou Yage saw it in his eyes and was silent. I know in my heart that the person who came is false. The old man pretended to toss around, and turned back to the crowd: "This old general is seriously ill, and the little old man is not skilled in medicine and can do nothing, so you should ask for another master." "Let's take the medicine box and slip away.

When Zhou Yage heard this, he sighed, and said to everyone: "I will return to Dr. Li immediately, and I will bother everyone about General Zhao's future." ”

Sending Zhou Yage away, Shang He laughed, praised Xun Bin and Dong He for their cleverness, but joked and blamed the clerk: "Lao Wen, you are usually the most calm, why are you so out of shape today?" almost made Zhou Yage see the flaw. The clerk said angrily: "I was angry when I saw that old man cowering." Blame Dong He said: "Where did you find this guy, what are you doing?" Dong He said: "He is also Langzhong, but he is a veterinarian who treats cattle and horses." The crowd laughed together.

Zhou Yage and his entourage returned to the welcome office, and his entourage He Gongde said: "Today's incident students feel that something is inappropriate. "He Gongde is a student of Zhou Yage, and he has followed Zhou Yage for thirteen years, and Zhou Yage has long regarded him as a confidant. When he heard this, he deliberately tested him and asked, "What's wrong?" Do you suspect that Zhao Hede is faking illness? ”

He Gongde said: "This student doesn't dare to say it, but that Ge Rixiu doesn't have the demeanor of a miracle doctor no matter how you look at it." Also, I heard that Ge Rixiu was invited by Li Mao from the city bureau to go out of the mountain, and Li Mao hired him as the master of the medical school, and he had a very high prestige in Gushan Town, so how could he scold him in public as such a gentle and elegant person? There's a lot of weirdness about it. ”

Zhou Yage laughed when he heard this, and said: "Your eyesight is good, this Ge Rixiu's designation is fake, the doctor is right, Zhao Hede was really held hostage by them." ”

He Gongde was taken aback and asked urgently: "Then what should we do?" ”

Zhou Yage glanced out the window and said in a low voice: "Early tomorrow morning, you go to the Hu Ji Sheep Soup Restaurant in Qingzhuang Fang to buy a bowl of soup, if the shopkeeper asks you how your business is, you will answer him, 'It's okay'." He Gongde has followed Zhou Yage to many places over the years, and has done many confidential things, but he didn't dare to ask more when he heard this, so he only answered yes.

Zhou Yage was originally scheduled to leave at noon on the second day, but who knew that he had a stomachache after eating a bowl of mutton soup in the morning, and he couldn't leave Gushan Town, Zhao Hede was afraid that he would visit Zhao Hede again, so he still left Zhao Hede in Longqingfang and asked Chen Jingye to closely monitor his movements.

After nightfall, Shang He came to rest assured, and personally went to the soup and noodle restaurant outside the State Guest House to inquire, Chen Jingye said: "I send someone to go every other time I stick incense, he took the medicine of Dr. Ge, and he has been very well, and now he is resting in bed with low energy, and he has not gone out." Shang Helai scolded: "His grandmother, go back to Qingzhuang Fang and smash the Hu family who sells soup, and the old man who is harming him is not sleeping well." Chen Jingye smiled: "Wait for tomorrow I will take someone to smash this blind one." ”

Because he saw that it was cold, he was busy asking people to cut cooked beef, scalded a pot of wine, and accompanied Shang He to eat and drink. Shang He has tasted the sweetness of being the boss these days, and he has eaten enough of the bitterness of being the boss, and he has a stomach to talk to someone to talk to, and he chattered with Chen Jingye with the strength of wine, and it is endless, although Chen Jingye is his cronies, but there are not many such opportunities, so he persuades him to drink.

The two of them drank three jars of wine in one go, and they were a little drunk, and they were about to disperse, but a small school rushed over, dragging a crying voice and reporting: "Deputy Envoy Zhao is missing......

As soon as he heard this, Shang Helai's wine suddenly woke up half, he grabbed the little colonel with his hand, stared at the big eyes of the copper bell, and asked sharply: "What do you say, you say it again." ”

"It's gone, Vice Zhao made him, he's gone."

This time, he heard it clearly, the whole person was like falling into an ice cave, and his cold body was half of his body.

Zhao Hede is missing at the end of the watch, and the error before and after will not exceed the effort of a cup of tea. When Shang Helai Pegasus arrived at Longqing Fang, the doors of the four workshops were closed, and the guards of the North Camp were stationed, Xun Bin greeted him with a black face and picked up the reins of his horse, and was viciously pushed away by Shang Helai, and Xin Bin was ordered to monitor Zhao Hede with full authority, and now that he has lost him, he naturally has to bear the greatest responsibility.

Zhao Hede's family members have been detained in the inner courtyard, Dong He has already arrived first, and when he saw Shang Helai, he hurriedly said: "Zhao Hede and his two sons have run away, leaving only his wife here." Shang Helai scolded: "A yellow-faced woman has a fart." He angrily scolded the guards: "Do you have all your eyeballs in your assholes, why are the three big living people gone?" ”

Xun Bin and the others bowed their heads and didn't dare to respond, Dong He said: "Before the disappearance of the Zhao family's father and son, Zhou Yage came. ”
