Chapter Forty-Nine: Throwing Yourself into the Net

Zhao Min was awakened by the knock outside the door, and it turned out that he fell asleep unconsciously in the bathtub. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info only heard an attendant shouting outside: "Mr. Meng and Qu Ji have arrived, and they are asking to see each other outside!" ”

Zhao Min hurriedly jumped out of the bathtub and shouted in his mouth: "Invite them to the big tent to rest for a while, just say that I will arrive later!" After speaking, he quickly dried his body, put on his clothes, tidied up a little, and walked to the handsome tent.

When Zhao Min entered the tent, Meng Hou and Qu Jin were drinking tea in the tent, and when they saw Zhao Min, they got up and saluted. Zhao Min was about to return the gift, but was grabbed by Meng Hou, and looked at it without saying a word, with a gratifying glow in his eyes. Zhao Min's heart warmed, this person is really treating himself as a child! Bow down at the moment: "Let Mr. bother, I am ashamed to sweat!" ”

Meng Hou let go of his hand and sighed: "Why does the King of the North Sea need to be like this, I just hope that the King of the North Sea will remember that he is the hope of all the people, and he must not take any more risks alone." If you need to know that your husband is a king, you can control the heroes and drive the sages, but how can you gallop through the mountains and wilderness, and be brave in vain? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Min sweated, is this my own willingness to be brave? You think I'm willing! However, the meaning of care in Meng Hou's words was still quite touching, so he replied respectfully: "Mr. Xie's teachings, Min is taught, and he will remember it in his heart, and he will not dare or forget!" ”

Meng Hou nodded at this time, and said with relief: "But the tribulation makes people grow, the king of the Beihai has returned from this suffering, and Hou Guan has a lot of perseverance and courage between the eyebrows of the king of the Beihai, so he must have benefited a lot!" ”

Zhao Min couldn't cry or laugh, and you had all the good and bad things to say! However, after careful calculation, it did benefit from it, not only did it break through both force and intelligence, but also subdued a general, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise? However, Zhao Min knew what Meng Hou meant, not only to keep his identity in mind, but also to not want him to become timid after this incident, so he reminded him that this was also a way to care about himself, so he nodded respectfully.

After the greetings, let's get to the point. It was still Meng Hou who was the first to speak: "The King of Beihai was in danger this time, but he didn't go back to his house directly after escaping, but summoned me to wait here, but what was wrong with him?" ”

Zhao Min nodded and said, "Min does have some doubts about this matter. Then he raised a few doubts that he noticed one by one, and looked at Meng Hou after speaking, but saw that Meng Hou was also looking at him, and read the word "Lu Xu" from each other's eyes.

Zhao Min turned to Qu Jin, he had a slight impression of this person, as if the last time he was in the Jiaozhou Pirate Water Village, he sneaked into the thief's house to steal the letter, and he was indeed shrewd and capable, and it must have been appointed by Shao Qi as the Siwen Division It was not without purpose. Zhao Min Wenyan asked, "Qu Zhi, has anything unusual happened in Jimo City recently?" ”

Qu Jin is not tall, he looks thin and black and capable, and after hearing this, he thought for a while and replied: "Qi Beihai King, except for some rumors among the people in the past few days, there is nothing beside him, but in the past few days, his subordinates have discovered a strange thing. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Min was interested, since it can be called a "strange thing", it must be extraordinary, so he asked, "What is the strange thing?" ”

"Huh" bowed down and said: "The king of Beihai should know that the Jimo County Ya is located in the north of the city, because the predecessor Jimo Ling is crazy, so the street in front of the county Yaqian has always been scattered and deserted, and the people are inaccessible. However, just five days ago, his subordinates accidentally noticed that this street was much more lively, so they began to pay attention to observe. The ones that appeared were all merchants walking the streets, fortune tellers setting up stalls, and sharpeners selling knives. This matter is also ordinary, but the strange thing is that these people are almost all male old men who are about forty years old, although these people do not look at me very abnormally, but from the thick bones of the knuckles and sharp eyes, it can be seen that they are people in the rivers and lakes, not like good people. The subordinates originally planned to arrest two of them for questioning, but considering that this is an extraordinary period, they did not act rashly. ”

Zhao Min and Meng Hou glanced at each other, and they both smelled a hint of conspiracy from them. Zhao Min turned his head to Qu Jin and said, "You did a good job, but this matter needs to be kept strictly confidential, don't mention it to others again!" ”

Qu Jin bowed in response, Zhao Min nodded, and sent him away first.

After Qu Jin left, Zhao Min said impatiently: "Sir, there must be a conspiracy in this, it should be an attack on the county government, and the so-called pedestrians must be the ones who step on the spot first!" ”

Meng Hou smiled, "Only those who are not detected can be called an attack, since they have been discovered, what awaits them can only be self-defeating!" ”

Zhao Min laughed when he heard this: "What Mr. said is not bad, then we have to think about it to see if we can catch it all!" ”

In the backyard secret room of Zhang's gold shop on North and South Streets, Zhang Hao was respectfully reporting to the son surnamed Lu.

"Lu Gongzi, after a few days of stepping on the spot, it has been determined that Zhao Min should not be in the county office, and now only the master surnamed Meng is in the county office, and the rest of the people have not appeared in Jimo, presumably they are all looking for Zhao Min's traces."

The son surnamed Lu tapped his finger on the coffee table and asked, "Then have you found a breakthrough in the hospital?" ”

Zhang Hao said: "There are a few old brothers who are professional in climbing over the wall to enter the room, and they have already seen it in all directions, as long as they enter through the east wall, they will not attract the attention of the guards; Moreover, even if the guards find out, now that the county government is lax, it can be easily taken even if it is a strong attack. ”

The son surnamed Lu nodded and said, "Since there is no problem, let's do it tonight." Remember what your mission was? ”

Zhang Hao bowed down, but there was a hint of pathos in his voice: "After finding something, kill all the people left behind, and don't let go of a single living mouth!" ”

The son surnamed Lu nodded with satisfaction, took out a piece of paper from his arms and shook it in front of Zhang Hao, "As long as the things are handed over to me after they are in hand, this letter is yours." Think about your family and don't do anything stupid! Prepare to go, then. I'll be waiting for you here. ”

Zhang Hao looked at the letter in Lu Gongzi's hand with complicated eyes, and finally didn't say anything, turned around and left.

When Zhang Hao left, the son surnamed Lu sat still in the room, and the dim candlelight reflected the gloomy expression on his face, and he could only see a strange smile flowing from his lips.

At the time of the third watch, that is, the north of Mocheng Wuyan Street. Legend has it that in the early years, this street was mostly inhabited by salt-free people in Dongping, but now there is no trace of salt-free people; In the first year of Showa, the county government turned this place into a county government. Because of the deserted tracks, the local people jokingly call this street "Silent Street", taking its silent and wordless meaning.

However, at this time, Silent Street ushered in a group of uninvited guests. The group was dressed in black and masked, and moved as swift as the wind, but did not make a sound. They quickly came to the east wall of the county government, only to see that the leader nodded slightly, and several people behind him immediately stepped forward to build a human ladder alternately, and the people behind stepped on the human ladder in front of them, like an eagle falcon, and went up to the courtyard wall in an instant. Then he leaned over and stretched out his hand, allowing the people below to also use his strength to go up the wall, showing that he was well-trained. Between several ups and downs, dozens of people went up to the courtyard wall, and the head of the person was headed again, and dozens of people lined up in a straight line, and they ran on the wall less than two feet wide! What's even more rare is that no one made a sound at such a high speed!

In an instant, the man in black followed the courtyard wall to the backyard, the leader waved his hand, and dozens of people acted in unison, jumping down the courtyard wall together, with a clear division of labor, some stayed on guard in place, and some went to both sides to defend it, but the leader of the few people ran straight to the dark wing room in the inner courtyard. However, just as he was about to run to the front of the house, a sudden change occurred!

I saw that the door of the wing room in front of me suddenly opened by itself, and the room was brightly lit, and a young man and a middle-aged scribe sat in the main hall drinking tea, just looking at this group of uninvited guests.

The black-clothed man led by him also reacted quickly, and when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately made a decision and shouted: "The wind is tight, pull and hoo!" However, there was still time, but I saw that the corridors on both sides and the courtyard wall behind them were lit with torches, reflecting the courtyard in detail, rows of fully draped soldiers showed their figures, and the arrows of hundreds of crossbow arrows were facing the people in black, and in the light of the fire, the tips of the arrows flashed with a chilling light.

It was Zhao Min and Meng Hou who were sitting in the main hall, but they didn't know that Zhao Min was complaining in his heart at this time: The word wind is tight and shouting has been used for thousands of years, right? Are you tired? But with a light and breezy expression on his face, he picked up the teacup and asked, "Sir, this is the new tea I tried to stir-fry, and the taste can still enter your mouth?" ”

Meng Hou obviously hadn't heard of the word "pretending to be forced", and felt inexplicable about Zhao Min's behavior, but he roughly understood what Zhao Min meant, although he didn't think so, he still reluctantly cooperated: "Tea is good tea, but I don't know if the guests are hospitable?" ”

Zhao Min was quite satisfied with Meng Hou's proper response, and turned his head to look at the black-clothed man led by him: "Since the honored guest is here, why don't you have a drink together?" ”

The black-clothed man led by him was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, and took the lead in throwing down the blade in his hand: "Brothers, we admit it!" As he moved, there was only a clanging sound, and dozens of men in black threw down their weapons one after another.

Zhao Min waved his hand to signal the guards to collect the weapons, and then looked at the leader with a smile, "Since the honorable guest is sincere, why don't you move over and talk about it?" Maybe we'll have more things in common! ”

The man in black took off the face towel covering his face in a dejected manner, revealing an old face full of wind and frost, and immediately a guard exclaimed: "Zhang Dongjia! You are the Zhang owner of Zhang's gold shop! ”

Zhao Min's eyes shrank, he was actually a local, or an owner! It seems that the county keeper's energy is not small!
