Chapter Seventy-Three: The More Trouble Grows
Cheng Wenyuan had a cautious personality and always felt that something was wrong, but the temptation of five thousand war horses was too great, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes and said: "Okay!" My Cheng family's caravan has been plundered several times in the Zongheng Mountain Range, and the losses are not small, and my Cheng family can afford a few bags of things. ”
Then he said a little obscenely: "However, I can't be honest, I will release the news, the Cheng family is going to transport a batch of jewelry tea out of customs, but I will only keep a few bags of tea, the rest...... Hehe. ”
Su Yi shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "That's your business, you arrange it yourself, but how do you send it away with Captain Yuan?" ”
Cheng Wenyuan's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, and he scratched his hand in front of his neck and said: "It will be a disaster for this person to stay, I have asked you to prepare, and then you can push it on Ji Fu's body." ”
Su Yi took a long breath, listening to the cold wind outside the house, and was a little distracted.
Once upon a time, he also hated this kind of murderous act, but now, these unsightly things are getting closer and closer to him.
"Brother Cheng, have you thought about it, if Zhao Cai's team is just a cover for Chen Hu, and the people who really go out of the customs to trade are taking another official road, then everything we do will come to naught."
Cheng Wenyuan was shocked when he heard this, and opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
"Leave it to fate." Su Yi sighed again, after all, things in this world can't be done as you like, I just hope that this time I can successfully rob these war horses.
Peach Blossom Village recruits troops and horses, and its power expands very quickly, but even so, it will only develop into Qingyun Village and Qingfeng Village in the future, and the thieves are still too limited after all, if there is no cavalry, when the world is in chaos, where can Peach Blossom Village go?
"Bang!" Gongsun Yiqing slapped the desk in front of him heavily, his wrinkled and dry hand, grabbed the paper under his palm suddenly, and clenched it tightly, "Chen Hu Xiao'er, dare to do this!" ”
"Your Excellency!" Several staff members were taken aback by Gongsun Yiqing's expression, in their impression, although Gongsun Yiqing is not smiling, usually has a serious expression, but he is kind and has never lost such a big temper, what is wrong today?
"Look!" Gongsun Yiqing threw the information that was crumbled into a ball of paper in front of this group of staff.
Several staff members looked at each other, quickly picked up the information, and carefully spread it out, and when they saw the contents of the information, they were all shocked.
"I've heard of this Chen Hu, I just laid down Qingyun Village not long ago, and I also said that this person is a manufacturable material, but I don't want to ......," one of the staff members looked at the cold hands and feet, and said incredulously.
"Huh." Gongsun Yiqing had slowly calmed down, he knew that Chen Hu was not his subordinate, and the reliability of this information was unconfirmed, but he had a bad impression of Chen Hu in his heart, and said with an indifferent expression: "It's just a bandit cottage!" If this kid is really selling grain to the enemy, the old man personally led the troops into Youzhou and screwed his head off, I don't think that Liu Yu Lao'er dares to shield him! ”
Several staff members knew Gongsun Yiqing's temper, and they could only smile bitterly at this time.
"Tell Gongsun Fang to go to Shangjun County, let him take a few personal soldiers and go quietly, I want to see if this Chen Hu is a human or a ghost." Gongsun Yiqing regained the domineering spirit that Taishou should have, and commanded coldly.
"No!" Several of Gongsun Yiqing's staff members hurriedly surrendered their hands.
At this time, Zhao Cai and his entourage had already left Yumen Pass, and the officers and soldiers of Liaodong also followed.
The situation was urgent, and when Gongsun Fang took his relatives with him, one person and two horses, and hurried to Shangjun County, it was already evening.
Su Yi and Cheng Wenyuan calculated that Gongsun Taishou was upright, if they were replaced by someone else and got this news, whether it was true or not, they would definitely hunt down Zhao Cai and others, just in case, no matter how bad it was, send someone to stop Zhao Cai and these people, and investigate the materials they transported, and naturally they would see the difference.
But Gongsun Yiqing sent people to Shangjun County to investigate the news, and asked his subordinates to follow Zhao Cai and a few people all the way. The reason why he did this was because he was worried about startling the snake, and when he reached his position, his thinking was no longer limited to Chen Hu's collaborator, and he even began to doubt whether Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, was involved.
When Gongsun Fang arrived in Shangjun County, he casually asked and knew that Chen Hu forced the local Haoqiang in Shangjun County to hand over a large amount of grain and cloth.
These places are full of complaints, and the relationship with Chen Hu is also deteriorating.
Gongsun Fang, who knew the news, did not rush back to Liaodong immediately, but secretly flew a pigeon to pass on the book and reported the matter to Gongsun Yiqing.
Gongsun Fang was rigorous, and in order to find out the situation, he deliberately stayed in Shangjun County. In order to ensure that the news could be transmitted to Liaodong, in addition to flying pigeons to pass the book, he also sent his own personal entourage to Liaodong overnight to report the news.
Chen Hu was arrogant and domineering in Shangjun County, offended many local powerful people, and his forcing these powerful forces to donate food and cloth was also spread in Shangjun County.
Soon, Gongsun Fang's entourage arrived in Liaodong.
Gongsun Yiqing was also surprised when he saw the information, Chen Hu collected a huge amount of grain in Shangjun County, and the amount of cloth and cotton wool was also a lot.
Chen Hu didn't have many soldiers and horses, could he use so much food and cloth?
"Bastard thing!" Gongsun Yiqing kicked over the desk in front of him and roared: "Order, go down, hunt down that caravan, and at the same time let people search carefully in Liaodong to prevent Chen Husheng from attacking the west." ”
Sometimes it's just that coincidental.
When Su Yi and Cheng Wenyuan just led all the men and horses to chase Zhao Cai and others all the way, Zhao Cai had already been detained by the officials and troops in Liaodong. And the goods they carried were all tea and other goods, and they did not find a grain or a piece of cloth.
Su Yi and the others watched from a distance, and saw Zhao Cai standing in place, arguing with the officials and soldiers of Liaodong without smiling, Young Master Cheng and Su Yi both knew that they had been tricked, but it was too late.
If Gongsun Yiqing stopped Zhao Cai and the others at the beginning, and saw that what they were transporting was just some tea goods, he might think that the information was wrong, and naturally he would not pursue it further, but Gongsun Fang sent news that Chen Hu was wantonly collecting grain in Shangjun County, which was a bit abnormal.
Gongsun Yiqing, who has always been upright, decided to investigate the matter thoroughly, and all the officers and soldiers in Liaodong were dispatched overnight, scouts and spies also searched everywhere for information, and the officials of various counties and counties also carried out the orders of the Taishou in full swing, and sent a large number of people to arrest and check the posts along the way.
With such a big movement in Liaodong, it is natural that it can't hide those big men in the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges.
