Chapter 569: The Night is Dark and the Wind is High
"Haha! As long as there is a place to start, the rest of the matter will be covered by me! "The surname Zhang is a cottage master, and of course he will not be unfamiliar with such a thing.
After some discussion, the two felt that the matter should be resolved quickly, and the more neatly they did, the safer it was, so they decided to leave Songjia Village with people that night.
"Brother Zhang, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the village tonight, see you or leave!"
"Brother Liang, don't worry, I'll go back and ask the brothers to get everything ready, and we will be able to succeed at night."
The two of them agreed, and they both walked out of the private room, and left and right.
As soon as the two of them left, the door of the next room of their secret agent also opened, and out of it came a man who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and looked very immature, but his eyes were cold.
This person is none other than the bean bag who stayed at the foot of the mountain waiting for Yang Yi's news.
Doubao glanced at the backs of Zhang and Liang leaving, and walked down the stairs expressionlessly.
At this time, a strong man walked up to the bean bag and asked with a calm face, "What's the situation?" ”
The person who spoke was Hu Shou, waiting for Yang Yi's news in Songjia Village with Doubao.
Doubao took out a handful of melon seeds from the bag and swallowed two, since following Yang Yi, he has also contracted the vice of eating melon seeds when it is okay.
"It's nothing, it's just two little thieves."
It turned out that Doubao and Hu Shou would listen to the news at the entrance of the village every day, and how could Zhang and Liang go to the sneaky private room in the tunnel, how could they hide from their eyes.
Doubao originally wanted to see if he could find out the news on Jiuxiao Mountain, but found that Zhang and Liang were just planning a robbery.
After listening to the simple description of the bean bag, Hu Shou condensed: "Do you want to do something?" ”
Doubao glanced at Hu Shou and said with a smile: "Let's not provoke right and wrong, it's the government's business to catch thieves and take stolen goods." ”
Doubao grew up in the bazaar since he was a child, and he saw filthy things, and there were countless thieves who roostered and dogs, and he seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of thing, and later he was ordered by Yang Yi to take over the dark messenger, and nine out of ten things that the dark messenger did might not be able to see the light of day, and these little things like mountain bandits and robbers couldn't get into his eyes at all.
Hearing the words of the bean bag, Hu Shou frowned and said, "We are also the government." ”
Hu Shou is different from Doubao, Hu Shou used to be an honest and responsible hunter in the mountains, as Yang Yi's general and the leader of the guard, his personality is much simpler in nature, although he can't talk about jealousy and hatred, but he will never take robbery and murder for granted.
Doubao glanced at Hu Shou with a smile, thought for a while, and said, "Then Brother Hu, what do you think you should do?" ”
Hu Shou shook his head and said, "I don't know how to do it, but if His Highness encounters this kind of thing, he will definitely not ignore it." ”
Doubao smiled and said, "Then let's do it, let Monkey Jian'er and Tie Niu stay here at night and wait for news, let's take a few people to follow this group of people to have a look, and if there is a chance and we are not exposed, give them some color to see." ”
Hu Shouxi said: "Success! It's just a few little thieves, and cleaning them up won't affect our affairs, so I'll go down and arrange it. ”
Seeing Hu Shou walking back to the inn quickly, Doubao smiled helplessly.
Ever since Doubao was in charge of the Dark Emissary, the officials or generals in Shu have all respected him, and even Liu Wenzheng and others, who were once acquainted, rarely have anything to do with him.
It's not that Doubao is deliberate, but the existence of the Dark Emissary organization will inevitably be isolated from the beginning of its establishment, the Dark Emissary is a pair of eyes in Yang Yi is Shu, just like human eyes, there will always be more black than white, and no one likes others to use a variety of gaze colors when looking at themselves.
Doubao once asked Yang Yi whether he could change this pattern, he didn't want the Dark Emissary to be defined as a different kind of existence, and Yang Yi gave him only one sentence: "The road is your own walking, what you want others to think of you, you need how to see others."
If you want the Dark Messenger to stop being dark in the eyes of others, they can only look at others with their own light eyes.
Doubao felt that he could try to make many people understand that the Dark Emissary was also an ordinary person, and like everyone else, they were just loyal to Yang Yi, and they were also working hard for the prosperity of the entire Shu.
If you want to do this, you must start with the people closest to Yang Yi, Monkey Jian'er and Tie Niu, although the two of them follow Yang Yi all the year round, they actually don't like to participate in too many other things, they always follow Yang Yi's words, it is better to find them directly to Yang Yi.
Hu Shou is different, he is Yang Yi's guard leader, and he also has a lot of prestige among the generals, if Hu Shou has a good impression of himself, then the special group of generals will also face the bean bag head-on.
Therefore, perhaps in order to curry favor with Hu Shou, Doubao agreed to intervene in the affairs of this group of thieves, anyway, there will be no loss or impact, and it can make Hu Shou have a better opinion of himself, why not.
In the evening, the leader of the mountain bandits surnamed Zhang really gathered in a forest ten miles outside the village with more than 40 fierce and vicious mountain bandits.
After counting the number of people, a group of mountain bandits took advantage of the moonlight to run north, where was the official road from Yunzhou to Jiuxiao Mountain in Fengzhou.
The mountain bandits did not have horses, but their footsteps were very fast when they shuttled between the mountains and forests all the year round, and within a few hours, the mountain bandits came to a sparsely populated mountain forest.
After observing the surrounding geography, the leader surnamed Zhang and the two surnamed Liang both felt that this was a "good place to do business", and the only thing they were worried about was that no one passed by here at night, and if they did it during the day, it might be easier to go wrong than at night.
However, the leader surnamed Zhang knew that such a thing as "buying and selling" could never be remembered, which was the same as fishing, and choosing a good place and waiting for the fish to take the bait was the only thing they could do.
The people were arranged in the woods on both sides of the official road, and a few thick sassagers were tied on the slopes of the next hill, and only someone passed by, put the sassalwood down, and then shouted: "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree!" "Basically, the deal is done.
The mountain bandits stayed in the forest for most of the night, and the official road was quiet from beginning to end, not to mention that the convoy of the rich and noble did not even see a ghost.
"Brother Liang, it seems that it will be difficult to wait for the fat sheep this night." Seeing that it was already in the second half of the night, Zhang Da said with some regret.
The surnamed Liang smiled bitterly: "This world is chaotic, no one is stupid, except for the officers and soldiers of the brigade, I'm afraid few people dare to rush at night." ”
Zhang Da said with a smile: "It's okay, even if we can do things during the day, we just have to do it more cleanly." ”
"The night is dark and the wind is high to kill people, and it is naturally the best time to do this kind of murderous and overselling at night, but it's a pity..."
At this moment, suddenly there was an intermittent call of a lone bird in the forest in front of me: "Goo... Cuckoo... Coo-goo-goo!!"
Zhang Da's spirit was lifted, and he was overjoyed: "There is a fish on the hook!" ”
The cry of the lonely bird that night was a secret signal from the bandit who was a sentry ahead, and according to the meaning of the code, everyone soon heard that someone was rushing to this direction in front of them, and there were quite a few of them.
