Chapter 1518 Retreat
"Heaven and earth?" Chi Buyan smiled coldly, then the corners of his eyes twitched, he thought of something, and said in a deep voice: "You guys immediately search around now to see if there is anything suspicious." ”
The crowd immediately dispersed and searched the place where the warehouse had been stolen.
Hanako hurriedly asked, "Commander Chi, do you have anything in mind?" ”
"Since you can't go through the main entrance, you can only fly away." Chi Buyan said lightly: "Even if you fly into the sky, you can be seen, then you can only escape to the ground." "I walked over and searched for it.
It didn't take long for a soldier to shout, "Commander, this is ......!" ”
After a long time, a group of people gathered in the past, only to see a soldier open a large wooden plank, in this warehouse, the wooden boxes are in pairs, many wooden boxes on the ground, are pounced on a thick layer of wooden planks, the soldier is very strong, open a large wooden plank, under the light of the fire, everyone has changed color, the scene in front of them, shocking, in this underground, there is a huge hole.
Hua Zi's eyes widened, and the others also looked at each other, and they didn't say a word and drew their knives in their hands, without saying a word, they jumped into the hole, the others were tall and big, and the hole was deeper than him, he had already seen at this time, on top of the earth wall, there was a tunnel, the tunnel was deep, and it was dark inside, and at this time he had already understood that the other party had dug a passage from the ground, and the weapons were obviously transported from here.
It is really sensational that someone is digging tunnels underground and transporting a large number of weapons.
"Torch!" Chi Buyan raised his hand, a soldier handed over the torch, Chi Buyan took the torch, bent into the tunnel, several soldiers under him also jumped down, followed behind, in case there was a mistake, Hua Zixu hesitated, helpless, also followed.
This tunnel is not too wide, he did not bend down and walked forward, looking at the traces on the ground, there were obviously traces of transporting things left in it, and the earth wall on the side was very rough, there was no doubt that this tunnel was also done in a hurry, and it was completed in a short time.
I don't know how long I walked along this tunnel, but I turned a few corners, the air inside was thin, making people feel very depressed, Hua Zixu almost couldn't breathe, and after holding on for a while, Hua Zixu felt dizzy, and finally heard the front of him whispering: "This is it." ”
Late to the end of the tunnel, now it is also covered with a wooden board, the torch to the back, holding the big knife, cautious, did not immediately move, silent for a moment, as if to listen to the movement above, not long, he raised his hand to push away the wooden plank above, it was also pitch black, unusually quiet, he rushed out of the exit, first looked around, dim, deathly silent, at this time behind everyone followed one by one out of the tunnel, under the light of the fire, only now has been in a house, But the house was empty, and there was no one, not even a chair.
Chi Buyan took a knife and looked around the house, and then pushed the door out, only to see that there was a small courtyard outside, and it was actually from the tunnel to a mansion.
Hua Zixu also followed out the door, looked around, and said in surprise: "This is ...... This is Liu Shilang's house. ”
"Which Liu Shilang?"
"Liu Guangyuan, the right attendant of the military department." Hanako hurriedly explained: "But after he was interrogated by the Criminal Department for corruption and perverted the law, he has been corrected ...... the law!" ”
Chi Buyan frowned.
"His family was also sent to Liaodong." Hanako said in a virtual way: "This house was taken away by the household...... ”
Chi Buyan walked around the courtyard and asked, "This is not far from Hyogo?" ”
"It's also ten miles away." Hua Zixu said: "In this way, the rebel party transported weapons here from underground. ”
"And how do they get away?" Chi Buyan said: "Since it is a deserted house, if there are people coming in and out here, won't it make people suspicious?" He instructed a soldier, "You go next door to see if there is anyone else, find someone who knows the situation, and say that this commander is investigating the important case on the orders of the prison state, and whoever it is, immediately come and reply to him." ”
He knew that since this was the mansion of the right attendant of the military department, the next door was naturally not an ordinary family, and it was expensive if it was not ironed.
The soldiers were ordered to go out, and after a long search, there was no one in the mansion, but strangely enough, in many places, there were many new furniture, and it seemed that someone was going to move into the empty house.
When the soldier who went out to look for people came back, he brought an old man over fifty years old, looking at his clothes, he seemed to be a servant of a large family. “
Chi Buyan asked, "Has this house been deserted?" ”
"Back to adults, this is one of the mansions of Liu Guangyuan, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, after Liu Guangyuan was convicted, the family property was confiscated, and this house was taken away by the household department." The old servant explained: "But not long ago, I heard that this house was bought by a merchant, and this house was originally owned by the official family, how could it be sold to those merchants who were indiscriminate, but I heard that the merchant paid a lot of money, and the household department did not know how, so he sold this house to that man." These days, the man took the cart in and out here, transporting furniture here, for many days, and only yesterday it was quiet, I think it had been ordered. ”
Chi Buyan asked coldly, "Who is that merchant?" ”
"I don't know." The old servant shook his head and said: "My lord also knows that many people from the southeast have fled to the capital recently, and there are many businessmen, who have come to the capital to buy property at any cost, and my lord is a court official, so naturally he will not associate with such people, and he also told us not to have dealings with them, so we didn't even say a word, but what the surname was, we don't know much." ”
Hua Zixu's face turned pale: "My lord, it seems that they bought this house with ulterior motives, that is, it is specially used to hoard weapons, and the so-called transportation of furniture is actually a cover-up. ”
Chi Buyan clenched his fists, his eyes showed a cold light, and he said coldly: "It's really cunning." He said in a deep voice: "Leave two people here to guard, Hua is in charge, you also go back to your military headquarters first, go and talk to the people in your department, and let them see what went wrong in the military department...... Snorted coldly, "Your Highness is afraid that he will be looking for you soon, so you can do it yourself." ”
He didn't say much, and led a few of his men to leave quickly, and Hanako was as stunned as a chicken, standing on the ground for a while, not knowing what to do.
Chi Buyan hurriedly walked to the Hyogo, which was about to ride to the prince's mansion and explain the situation to the prince, just outside the hyogo, someone had already greeted him, and said anxiously: "Commander, you are finally here, the big thing is not good......!" ”
Chi Buyan's heart sank and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Simon...... Beyond the West Gate......! The man gasped: "There are many refugees gathered outside the west gate, and they are about to rush into the city, and they look angry, and it looks like they are about to enter the city to make trouble." ”
"Refugees making trouble?" Chi Buyan frowned and said, "Why are you making trouble?" Didn't they set up pots outside the city and serve them white porridge every day? ”
"Commander, you ...... Take a look at ...... first! ”
Chi Buyan knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn't say anything more, and turned over and got on the horse.
The defense of the capital was also handed over to Wu Jingwei, and there were only five or six thousand Wu Jingwei in the entire capital, not only to maintain law and order in the capital, but also to guard the city gate.
All the way to the horse, before reaching the West City Gate, I saw the West City Gate in flames from a distance, and heard countless shouts and curses, and galloped to the city gate, someone had already greeted him, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Xiao Gui, the general flag of the West City, meet the commander." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Chi Buyan turned over and dismounted, and went straight to the city wall, preparing to go up the city ladder to the city head, Xiao Gui got up and followed beside him, "These Diao people want to rebel, they gathered here and asked us to open the city gate......!" ”
Chi Buyan had a cold face, climbed to the top of the city, this does not know, at a glance, Chi Buyan gasped, only to see that the city is black and oppressive are all people, not to mention three or five thousand people, look at the situation, there are tens of thousands of people, and look into the distance, under the firelight, see that there are still people coming from a distance to the city gate, these people are in tattered clothes, they are ordinary people, shouting loudly.
The southeast Tianmen Road was in turmoil, there were many people fleeing to this side earlier, that was not much, and so on Xuzhou fell, Tianmen Road opened a killing ring in Xuzhou, the people of Quzhou were frightened, like a torrent of fleeing to the vicinity of the capital, those rich and noble people naturally entered the capital to find a place to live, ordinary people even had a problem with eating, naturally it was impossible to have any place to live in Beijing, and the imperial court did not allow these people to pour into the capital at once, the people who fled from the southeast, no less than 100,000, if they poured into the city all at once, The consequences are unimaginable.
Although the imperial court was short of food, but in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, the prince reluctantly squeezed out a part of the food, set up a porridge station outside the city, relief refugees, hundreds of thousands of refugees, mainly distributed in the west and south of the capital, all the time, there was not much chaos outside the city, but tonight it was like being stabbed in a hornet's nest, and the refugees were like hornets, swarming.
The black oppressive refugees are simply overwhelming, countless voices shouting to open the city gate, and some people scold the court for ignoring the lives of the people, and the dignitaries and nobles in the city are drinking and meat, and the people can't even eat a full meal of porridge, and they want to try to kill the people.
"What did they say?" Chi Buyan frowned and said, "You heard them shouting, he said that the court was going to kill them, what is going on?" ”
Xiao Gui, the general banner of Xicheng, smiled bitterly: "My lord, look at the ...... over there!" Pointing not far away, "Your Excellency can see those bamboo poles ......!" ”
Chi Buyan looked in the direction of Xiao Gui's finger, and soon, he saw dozens of people holding bamboo poles under the city, which were very conspicuous in the crowd, and there seemed to be something on the bamboo poles.
