Chapter 35 The Problem of the Gansu Army Is Solved

"So fast? Who instructed it? Shi Kefa asked.

Xiao Wang handed the mobile phone in his hand to Luo Jian and said, "Chief, see for yourself, the matter is quite complicated, and the Qing soldiers have intervened." ”

Hearing that the Qing soldiers had intervened, Shi Kefa and the others were all shocked. Luo Jian hurriedly turned on the computer and connected the mobile phone, found the interrogation video recorded by Wang Qiang and opened it.

At the beginning of the video, the Assassin and Xiao Liu were already seated, Xiao Liu tied the Assassin to a chair and sat down at a table, and after a while, Xiao Wang also appeared in the video, and the two sat side by side.

"Tell me, who are you? Why assassinate our chief today? Xiao Liu asked lightly.

"What chief? What is it? The assassin was obviously not professional, and when he saw Xiao Liu's question, he began to answer.

"The chief is the person you are going to assassinate today. Seeing that you are also a member of the Ming army, who instructed you to assassinate our chief? ”

Seeing Xiao Liu's question, the assassin began to keep silent.

"Listening to you, you must also be a Han person, why do you want to do this thing where relatives are painful and enemies are happy? Kill our chief, the Qing soldiers will come back soon, Duoduo has already killed the order to slaughter the city, haven't you heard? In other words, once the Qing army broke through Yangzhou, no one in the city would be spared. ”

Seeing Xiao Liu say the "Slaughter Order", the assassin shook his head blankly, and only after a long time did he speak: "There is such a thing? Why haven't I heard? ”

"There are so many Qing soldiers in the city who surrendered yesterday, you can just ask them, can this still deceive you?"

"How so? The prison army just told me that if we kill this person, our Gansu army will be able to receive the Qing soldiers who surrendered yesterday, and I heard that there are 5,000 people, so the strength of our Gansu soldiers will increase greatly, and no one in this Yangzhou city will dare to underestimate us. Could it be that the person I assassinated today was an angel from the day before yesterday? ”

"What do you say? Who else in Yangzhou City is wearing the same clothes as us? "Xiao Liu is a little strange.

"In the past few days, the prison army has not let us go out, I only vaguely heard that a few angels came to the city to save Yangzhou City, but I have not seen it."

As soon as Xiao Liu heard that there was a door, he quickly asked Wang Qiang to bring the assassin a glass of water, and untied his hand. The Assassin was wounded in his right arm, and when he untied the rope and touched the wound, the pain was terrifying.

Holding the water in his left hand and drinking it down, the assassin looked up and said to Xiao Liu, "Ask whatever you want, I'll tell you everything I know." ”

"Let's not be too busy, let's treat your wounds first, if it becomes inflamed, you will die."

When a few people in front of the computer heard Xiao Liu say this, they all secretly stretched out their thumbs.

After Xiao Wang went to get the medicine box, Xiao Liu cleaned the assassin's wound with alcohol, applied medicine and carefully bandaged it. As soon as he had done this, the Assassin knelt down at the two of them, and kowtowed vigorously to them, and when he looked up, his forehead was already red.

Then the two asked, and the Assassin answered, and everyone understood what had happened.

It turned out that this assassin named Zhang Cheng was a personal soldier of Gao Qifeng, the military supervisor of Gansu Province, because he had a good martial arts, he had always been valued by Gao Qifeng, and he was easily prevented from showing up.

Yesterday, Zhang Cheng went out to pass by Gao Qifeng's room, and saw that the prison guard was talking in a low voice with a person, Zhang Cheng was a good martial artist, and he walked lightly, and the people in the house did not notice it. Although the two people in the room spoke in a small voice, he still listened to a few words, vaguely "Gongshun Wang", "Yongzhen Yangzhou" and the like, thinking that some prince of the imperial court sent someone to contact the prison army. This kind of thing was not uncommon before, and now I don't care about it and go back to sleep.

At noon the next day, Gao Qifeng sent someone to call him and told him that General Li was going to take over the thousands of Qing soldiers who had been thrown in the city yesterday, and the strength of the Gansu soldiers would rise sharply. He also said that someone had arranged for someone to keep an eye on this person's residence, let him stay not far from Luo Jian's residence, and inform him to assassinate this person as soon as he went out.

In the end, Zhang Cheng knelt down at the two and said: "Fortunately, the angel is blessed by the true god, and the villain is fortunate not to succeed, otherwise there will be no redemption." ”

Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang saw that Zhang Cheng was completely deceived and acted as an assassin, and Luo Jian was fine, so they no longer blamed him, and only said to him, "How to deal with you, it has to be decided by the Governor and our chief, you stay here for the time being, and then deal with you after we ask the chief, if you want to confront you face to face, do you dare?" Zhang Cheng nodded vigorously and said, "The villain pleads guilty, and the villain is willing to confront him face to face." ”

The video is gone here.

Shi Kefa and the three of them looked at each other, both surprised at how the interrogation process was reproduced on this computer, and shocked that Gao Qifeng had the audacity to collude with the Qing soldiers and wanted to kill Luo Jian and others so that they could surrender to Yangzhou, the Qing Dynasty.

In the past, Luo Jian read a lot of books, all of which said that assassins were all dead soldiers, and after being caught, he would rather commit suicide than confess, but the assassins he met today were deceived by someone, and he was recruited after a few words, and his luck was really good.

"I know that this bastard is not a good thing, Li Qifeng must have a share, I will bring someone to arrest them!" Liu Zhaoji slapped the table and stood up.

"Dingwei don't be impatient, you may cause a fight between the two armies, it's not appropriate, I'll go with you." Shi Kefa said.

"The superintendent came forward very well, and the Gansu army did not dare to act rashly." When Liu Zhaoji heard that Shi Kefa was going to go in person, he was very happy, and hurriedly went out on horseback to gather his own soldiers.

"Xiao Wang and I will also go with you, Xiao Liu will stay at home, and inform us in time if there is any situation." Luo Jian said.

Wang Qiang ran to the car and carried a rifle, and when he saw that Wang Zecheng also ran over, he took out another one and handed it to him, and the two followed behind Luo Jian with the rifle on their backs.

After a while, Liu Zhaoji arrived with fifty or sixty personal soldiers, and joined everyone and headed towards the Gansu soldier station.

After walking for more than ten minutes, I arrived at the Gansu garrison. The more than 4,000 soldiers and horses of Gansu are not stationed together, and there is no such big place in this Yangzhou city.

When I arrived at the place, I learned that the chief soldier Li Qifeng and the supervisor Gao Qifeng did not live with his soldiers, but lived in a house not far from the east gate.

A group of people walked for a long time before they came to the outside of a compound, and there were two guards standing at the gate of the courtyard, seeing Shi Kefa and others coming to enter the courtyard, one knelt on the top and saluted, but the other turned around and ran inside, obviously going in to report.

Liu Zhaoji let out a low roar, "Stop!" The soldier stood on the side of the road and did not dare to move.

"Where does Gao Qifeng live? Lead the way! Shi Kefa stepped forward and said to the soldier.

Luo Jian walked into the courtyard and took a look, he thought that his yard was big enough, but now compared with this courtyard, it is too far behind. There are many pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, and there is even a small pond and rockery, and the lotus leaves in the pond have shown their heads. The houses in the courtyard are stacked on top of each other, and I don't know how many there are.

"This is Gao Qifeng who killed a big salt merchant in Yangzhou City on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and occupied this courtyard." Liu Zhaoji saw that Luo Jian was observing this courtyard, walked to his side and whispered.

After going around a few circles, the soldier took everyone to a small courtyard, and there were also two guards standing at the door, and when they saw Shi Kefa and others coming, one of them ran in directly.

"Fence this yard, don't let any of them go!" Liu Zhaoji ordered.

His soldiers suddenly scattered and surrounded the small courtyard.

Everyone walked into the small courtyard, and Liu Zhaoji yelled: "Where is Gao Qifeng?" Come out and meet the Overseer! ”

Seeing that no one answered, Liu Zhaoji was about to call his own soldiers to go up and smash the door, but he saw that the door of the main house was open, and more than a dozen personal soldiers walked out with Gao Qifeng in their arms.

"I've seen the Inspector, I don't know why the Inspector has led so many soldiers here?" When Gao Qifeng saw that Shi Kefa had brought such a person, he was shocked in his heart, and said calmly.

"Gao Qifeng, you fornicated with the Tartars and harmed the angels, the evidence is conclusive, come on, take it for me!" Shi Kefa shouted.

"The superintendent's blood spurts, Gao is not convinced, brothers, everyone rush out together!" Gao Qifeng refused to be captured, screamed and pulled out his knife, and led a group of personal soldiers to rush to the courtyard.

Liu Zhaoji saw Gao Qifeng rushing out with people, and hurriedly asked Shi Kefa to protect him, and led his own soldiers to fight with Gao Qifeng's people, and for a while the courtyard was in a mess.

"Try to keep your mouth alive!" Luo Jian shouted, Wang Zecheng handed over the rifle to Luo Jian, drew his knife and rushed forward, Wang Qiang was also a little eager to try when he saw it, glanced at Luo Jian, and held back.

Luo Jian had long heard that the generals in the army had very strong combat effectiveness, and the results were true today. The courtyard is not big, and Liu Zhaoji's personal soldiers only came in a dozen people, and Gao Qifeng's more than a dozen personal soldiers fought with Liu Zhaoji's personal soldiers, and they did not fall behind for a while.

Luo Jian looked at it, worried that the Gansu army would be alarmed after a long time, and he was afraid that he would change. He put the rifle on his back, drew his pistol and took a few steps forward and shouted, "Everyone, retreat!" When Wang Qiang saw it, he hurriedly picked up his rifle and protected him.

When Liu Zhaoji's people saw Luo Jian shouting back, they all made a false move and retreated behind Luo Jian.

Gao Qifeng stood behind and saw Luo Jian come forward, waving the waist knife in his hand and shouting, "Kill him!" ”

The two pro-soldiers raised their knives and rushed towards Luo Jian, as soon as Wang Qiang saw it, he raised his gun to shoot two short shots, and the two pro-soldiers immediately fell to the ground, and the other pro-soldiers saw it and did not dare to move.

"We only arrest Gao Qifeng, and the others lay down their weapons, and they are not to blame for the past!" Luo Jian said to the soldiers.

A few of the pro-soldiers hesitated, looked at the two who fell to the ground, and then looked back at Gao Qifeng. Gao Qifeng saw that the situation was not right, and quietly shrank behind, followed by two personal soldiers.

"Lay down your arms and kneel without killing!" Wang Zecheng stepped forward and shouted to the pro-soldiers, and finally several pro-soldiers threw down the weapons in their hands, and after a while, they all knelt on the ground.

"It's not good, Gao Qifeng ran away!" Wang Zecheng stepped forward to take a look, and saw that Gao Qifeng was not among them, and exclaimed.

Before the words fell, I heard a shout from outside the hospital, "Don't let Gao Qifeng run away!" ”

Luo Jian hurriedly ran towards the outside of the courtyard and saw several of Liu Zhaoji's personal soldiers chasing the three people who had fled in front.

It turned out that the wall of this small courtyard was not high, and when the soldiers were about to surrender, Gao Qifeng ran out with two henchmen over the wall, and as soon as he jumped out of the wall, he was discovered by Liu Zhaoji's personal soldiers who put him outside.

Five or six pro-soldiers chased after the three of them, and when they saw that they were about to catch up, Gao Qifeng's two pro-soldiers turned around and stopped the pursuers, and after this delay, Gao Qifeng immediately ran away.

Liu Zhaoji saw that Gao Qifeng was about to run to a dozen steps away from the gate, and it was too late to catch up, so he paused and said in annoyance: "Let this guy run!" ”

"He can't run!" Luo Jian quickly took the rifle off his back, loaded it with a bang, and his movements were extremely skillful.

Gao Qifeng ran forward lifelessly, seeing that he was only a few steps away from the gate, he was secretly happy in his heart, as long as he ran out of this gate and fled to the Gansu army, he and others did not dare to go to the Gansu army to get people, with Li Qifeng to protect him, he would be fine.

Seeing that Gao Qifeng was only two steps away from the gate, Liu Zhaoji was so anxious that he jumped to his feet. At this moment, when he heard a gunshot, Gao Qifeng leaned forward, struggled on the ground twice and then did not move.

It was Luo Jian who knocked over Gao Qifeng with one shot, the distance was too far, and Luo Jian didn't care about capturing Gao Qifeng alive, so he shot at his back.

Liu Zhaoji led people to run to the gate, and saw that Gao Qifeng was already lying on the ground motionless. Wang Zecheng stepped forward and lifted him over, looked at it carefully, turned around and said, "It's dead!" ”

Liu Zhaoji turned around and stretched out his thumb towards Luo Jian, looking at the rifle in Luo Jian's hand with envy.

Shi Kefa came to the gate with a few guards, and saw that Luo Jian had killed Gao Qifeng, and said: "The thief should be punished, and he almost harmed the soldiers and civilians in Yangzhou City!" ”

While a few people were talking, a pro-soldier stepped forward to report that Li Qifeng had brought someone here.

Li Qifeng and Gao Qifeng both live in this courtyard, and the movement on Gao Qifeng's side has already alarmed Li Qifeng.

Li Qifeng didn't know that Gao Qifeng had already colluded with the Qing soldiers, and he felt that the matter of discussing the surrender of the Qing soldiers with him a few days ago would not be exposed, and he did not surrender, so he felt fearless, so he brought dozens of personal soldiers to see what was going on.

When he stepped forward to take a look, he saw that Gao Qifeng had been killed, and he was shocked, and asked Shi Kefa: "Supervisor, what did Gao Qifeng do, that the Inspector actually sent someone to kill him directly?" ”

Shi Kefa snorted coldly, "The high thief colluded with the Tartars, wanted to assassinate several angels, sacrifice Yangzhou City to Duoduo, and resisted arrest and escaped, it is really a punishment!" ”

"The superintendent said it, but I didn't believe it! If the superintendent has evidence, why not report it to the court, ask the court to condemn him, and why kill him on the spot? Li Qifeng still quibbled with himself.

"Of course, there is evidence, you, Li Qifeng, are the chief soldier of Gansu, and I will also impeach you for the crime of ignorance to the imperial court." Shi Kefa stared at Li Qifeng and said.

As he was talking, one of Liu Zhaoji's personal soldiers ran to his ear and muttered a few words, and Liu Zhaoji went to Shi Kefa's ear to say it. When Shi Kefa heard this, his face changed drastically, and he pointed at Li Qifeng and scolded: "The thief dares to take this superintendent hostage and sacrifice it to Qingqing? Come on, take down Li Qifeng! ”

It turned out that Gao Qifeng's personal soldiers recruited Gao Qifeng and Li Qifeng to discuss the matter of holding Shi Kefa hostage to Yangzhou and Qingqing, Shi Kefa was furious when he heard it, and he was about to take Li Qifeng on the spot.

"The superintendent's blood spews people, if you are not satisfied, I will impeach you to the court!" Li Qifeng shouted as he retreated behind his own soldiers.

Liu Zhaoji beckoned, and a group of soldiers behind him quickly surrounded him.

Li Qifeng's personal soldiers surrounded him, surrounded Li Qifeng in the middle, and drew their knives to face the surrounding personal soldiers.

Luo Jian carried a rifle, walked to the front in a few steps, and said to Li Qifeng: "Mr. Li, I advise you to catch it with your hands tied, if you want to resist, Gao Qifeng over there is your example!" ”
