Chapter Fifty-Eight: Who is the Yellow Sparrow?
"In the end, there are only nine people left plus Mr. Stan Duan?" Wang An looked at Shi Duan, Shi Duan's face was embarrassed, "The people who left were all old and young, and they didn't want to work hard anymore." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Let's go, let's go, the road is different." Wang An asked Shi Duan to stay and have something to discuss.
"Whose subordinates does the man in black think sir?"
"We interrogated the living, but they didn't say anything, so we had to kill them all. I think they're dead soldiers raised by some great family. ”
"Dead? It seems that some people, like us, are eyeing the treasure of the copycat. Wang An continued, "We have already interrogated the captives, and they confessed that someone had gone up the mountain several times to ask the bandits to help deal with someone, and each time they were generous, and this won the trust of the king of the mountain, and led a large number of men down the mountain to deal with us. What's strange is that this mountain king didn't even want the things that were robbed this time, why is this? ”
Shi Duan said: "When I came in, I saw that Xia Lao Thief was very busy, why is this?" ”
Wang An smiled and said, "Don't call Uncle Xia an old thief, I have already promised him to be the thief Cao Peng of Dangyang." Are you saying that there are also people who promise to give the Mountain King a new identity, which is the reason why the Mountain King has made a lot of money? Shi Duan nodded.
Wang An looked at the gold cakes brought by Shi Duan and asked, "Those who stayed in the cottage were all killed by the men in black?" Shi Duan nodded.
"Are there any children?"
Shi Duan recalled carefully and said, "We have checked every room, and there are no children among the deceased. ”
"According to the captive's confession, only the king of the mountain has three children in the stockade, and since there are none, it is likely that they have been taken away long ago." Wang An counted the gold cakes brought by Shi Duan: "Each of you divided five gold cakes, plus the ten pieces left for me, it is exactly two hundred gold cakes, but according to the confession of the bandits, it should be far more than that." ”
Stan wanted to explain. Wang An waved his hand, "I'm not suspicious of you, but I mean that this Mountain King may have transferred some of his money." If, I mean, the group of people I killed when I entered Chang'an were the descendants of the King of the Mountain, could it be that they were transferring property at that time, and I killed them by mistake? I still remember that the little leader said that he would transport Shu Jin to Chang'an, if he didn't lie, it means that this mountain king has a foothold in Chang'an. ”
Shi Duan said: "Chang'an is very strict. ”
Wang Anxin said, now there are no photos, just rely on words to describe a person's appearance, if you want to arrest people, it will be like South Korea, a photo to catch thousands of people: "It's just that you think so, what if someone provides a new identity to this mountain king?" What if this status is an official who has been dismissed from his post and returned to his hometown? Will it be very strict? And yesterday's defeat gave him a chance to get out of the way. ”
"Didn't the ranger say that the Mountain King had been burned to death?"
"This is what Zhuang Peng reported to Shangluo Ling and Hongnong Tai Shou, if a big victory does not catch the thief, it is always a little flawed, and it is not very good-looking in the official face. We've already examined the body, and it's not the King of the Mountain who died. Well, in this way, we can roughly conclude that the mountain king has prepared a way out for himself, and then found a substitute for the dead and disappeared in the chaos. ”
"Does my uncle still want to track down this person?"
"He was also used, since he has the heart to be a man again, as long as he doesn't come out to make trouble again, let's treat this person as dead." Wang An looked at Shi Duan, "What is the ability of those eight people, can they lead the troops?" ”
"Let them be your guards."
"There is one more thing," Wang An said, "Mr. Shi Duan should pretend to be sick for a while, and then Mr. Kong Fu will show up when he comes from Chang'an." ”
"The head of the house, the cottage burned all night last night, and now it has burned to the ground." A subordinate reported to Mr. Liu.
"Haven't we found our people yet?" Mr. Liu was furious, twenty dead soldiers, these people have to be cultivated since childhood, and this loss cannot be measured by money. Money can't buy time.
After the cottage caught fire, Cao Peng, a thief from nearby Shangluo County, rushed to the cottage and blocked the road until the fire was extinguished. After they left, their subordinates could go up the mountain to check, and no body could be found on the mountain. ”
"Shangluo County thief Cao Peng, why is he nearby?" Mr. Liu was puzzled.
"At the invitation of Wang An, he led the rangers to attack the bandits at night, so that the bandits were wiped out, and it is said that the king of the mountain did not escape and was killed in the melee." The subordinate replied.
"Isn't the bridge broken?"
"According to the rangers, they found a shoal, went around the back of the bandits, and waited for Wang An to send a signal before attacking." The subordinate replied.
Hearing the report of his subordinates, Mr. Liu calculated in his heart that if Wang An invited the thief Cao Peng to work together to deal with the bandits, it showed that Wang An had already known that the bandits were going to deal with him, so he used himself as a bait to attract the bandits and annihilate the bandits by attacking back and forth. Since the bandits are all attracted to it, how can they let go of the bandits' lair? Mr. Liu was suddenly shocked, his own people must have met Wang An's people. Where does Wang An have extra manpower? Stan Duan? Stann! I wanted to get two tigers with one blow, but I didn't expect someone to be a yellow finch.
"Call Deng Hua quickly!" Mr. Liu shouted.
"How does Zhuang Peng plan to report this?" Wang An invited Zhuang Peng to drink tea, anyway, the two tea masters were idle, so it was better to find something to do for them, so as not to make them feel uneasy.
"Of course, I reported it truthfully. If there are bandits blocking the road and robbing and killing officials, this official will lead people to rescue you. ”
Zhuang Peng's official said and laughed, His Majesty is dissatisfied with the Wang family, and all the ministers know it, if they are involved with the people of the Wang family, they are afraid that it will be unfavorable to Zhuang Peng. I also asked Zhuang Peng to only say that the bandits robbed the merchants, and they happened to be rescued by you. Wang An told the two women to step down.
Zhuang Pengguan watched them walk out before he spoke: "Your Majesty has been plagued by foot disease for four years, and the ministers no longer dare to deal with the Wang family like when Your Majesty ascended the throne, most of them are watching like Kong Guang, and the clan is ready to move and want to replace him, so someone will accuse King Dongping of rebellion, which is a warning from His Majesty to the clan." And judging from the fact that his uncle and grandson served as the head of the Yang, His Majesty has the heart to reconcile with the Wang family. But this is not enough, it depends on when your family, who is supported by the government and the opposition, returns to Chang'an. But your family will return to Chang'an......" Zhuang Pengyan shook his head and said nothing, "Another bowl of tea, this tea is better." ”
"Man, I can't give it to you."
