Chapter Seventy-Nine: Each Shows His Powers
Du Shi Niang told her life experience, which made Ju'er can't help but think of her own life experience. Compared with Du Shi Niang, is she lucky or unlucky?
"My lord is as kind to me as a mountain, when he saved me, I only thought that he loved me and wanted to dominate me. At that time, I was discouraged, and I thought to myself, no matter who I followed, I just had a place to go. But after following the master for so many years, he has never touched me and treated me with respect, this kind of treatment is something I have never encountered. Gradually, I felt that my dead heart came to life again, and from time to time I thought about my lord, and I always wanted to see him. This feeling is even stronger than when I met Li Jia back then. Every time the master says a word to me, my heart will be sweet for a long time, but we rarely have the opportunity to speak. He always has a lot of official work to do, for the country and the people, this kind of person I have never met in my life. He thought about the people and the court in his heart, just like this time he went to visit the people in person, and in order for the people to eat, he did not hesitate to offend many people, what princes and uncles made him offend. Sometimes, I'm really worried about him, afraid that something will happen to him. But sometimes, I also think again, even if something really happens to him, even if it is death, I will die with him. No, no...... The lord will definitely be fine, how can I say something foolish, a good official like him, God will not let him have an accident. He will definitely be able to leave a name in history and be remembered for centuries......"
Du Siniang was talking to herself, her words seemed to be for Ju'er, and it seemed to be for herself.
Little did she know, however, that there was another person listening outside the window. This person is Yue Su.
Don't look at Yue Su who took Ju'er in, but he had already guessed that Ju'er was weird and suffocated a sheep's beard, but he was just planning it. With such a person staying in the mansion, Yue Su was really not at ease, so he had to keep an eye on Ju'er from time to time.
Ju'er was in Du Shi Niang's room tonight, it was getting late, she didn't leave the house, Yue Su was worried that she would be bad for Shi Niang, so she ran to the window to see the situation. In fact, Yue Su knew in his heart that Ju'er's purpose for coming here would not be Shi Niang, but he didn't know why he was worried. The reason for giving yourself is just that everyone is a family, and it is not good for anyone to have an accident.
Hearing Du Shi Niang's narration, Yue Su's heart was pounding, he had never thought about it so much, and it was only because of sympathy that he left Du Shi Niang. Unexpectedly, under the lonely night, Shi Niang confided in front of Ju'er, and she happened to be there again.
Yue Su's heart is also in a dilemma, Li Qiongying's matter has not been solved yet, why is Shi Niang also thinking like this. But at this moment, the dog in the courtyard barked. "Wang, Wang, Wang......"
Xiao Hei never barks, and once he barks, it is a warning that someone is coming in. All subordinates who ask to see, except for Jin Cicada and Tie Qiu, will not go directly to the hospital, but shout a few times outside.
"Who?" Hearing the dog barking, Yue Su immediately stood up and shouted loudly.
Yue Su's voice, Shi Niang in the room heard it clearly. Why is Yue Su under his window, did he hear all the words just now. Du Siniang didn't realize any danger, but her cheeks fluttered and turned red.
"This is Yue Su, kill him!"
Six people rushed out of the darkness and went straight to Yue Su. Yue Su saw it in his eyes, but he was not in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Someone! Take it all for me! ”
With just one voice, I heard the sound of shouting and killing, and dozens of errands poured out of nowhere. The people at the head are none other than Tie Qiu, Yin Zhu, and Li Haoquan.
When the six people saw that they were discovered, they turned around and wanted to flee, but it was easy to get in, but it was difficult to get out, and nearly a hundred soldiers poured in at the Moon Gate, and the person led by Xiong Tingbi was Xiong Tingbi. The people brought by Xiong Tingbi were all archers.
"Shoot!" As soon as Master Xiong gave the order, the rain of arrows shot straight at the other party.
There were only six people, where could they stop so many bows and arrows, but when they heard a series of screams, all six of them fell to the ground. Yue Su walked over, surrounded by the messengers.
At first glance, four of them were dead, and the remaining two were also suffering from a few arrows in their bodies, and they were moaning incessantly.
"Who sent you?" Yue Su asked coldly.
"Ah......h
"It's not going to kill you." Tie Qi took an arrow step, grabbed the corpse, and looked down, but no, the faces of the two turned black, and they committed suicide by drinking.
"It looks like it's the Dragon Slayer Gang again. Everything has to do with them. Yue Su turned his head and glanced at Du Shi Niang's room. I wanted to continue, "It seems that she is also a member of the Dragon Slaying Gang", but I couldn't say this, but I found that I couldn't see the figure in the room.
"What about people?" Yue Su hurriedly ran towards Du Shi Niang's room, came to the door, palmed the door, and looked in, only to see Du Shi Niang fall to the ground, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
"Shi Niang!" Yue Su nervously rushed to Du Shi Niang's side, squatted down to sniff, fortunately there was breath, he should have been knocked unconscious.
He stretched out his arm to hold Shi Niang, and pressed hard to press the person, and after a while, Du Shi Niang woke up leisurely and saw Yue Su by his side, and he couldn't help himself for a while, and hugged Yue Su.
Many of his subordinates had already rushed through the door, and when they saw this scene, they hurriedly retreated again. Yue Su helped Shi Niang up and asked, "Shi Niang, what happened just now?" ”
Du Siniang shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know very well, I just feel that someone hit me, and I don't know anything." ”
Yue Su hugged Shi Niang, turned his head and looked, the window was open, obviously Ju'er jumped out of the window and ran away while she was fighting outside. Inadvertently, Yue Su saw a piece of paper neatly placed on the table, and there seemed to be handwriting on the paper.
He helped Shi Niang to the table, let Shi Niang sit down, and glanced at the words on it by the way. I saw a line of words written on it. "Lord Yue, please cherish the person in front of you."
Seeing that Ju'er was able to leave such a few words, Yue Su couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Shi Niang, are you okay?" ”
Du Siniang shook her head and said, "I'm fine." What's going on now? ”
"It's nothing, it's just that there was a thief at home, I'm going to get the thief now, you have a good rest." After speaking, he smiled and nodded at Du Shi Niang.
"Hmm." Du Shi Niang also smiled at Yue Su.
Yue Su left the room, and Ruan Aoyue, Li Qiongying, Mu Tianjiao and others also came out in their clothes, saw the corpse on the ground, and knew that it was an assassin. It was only found that half of the people were gathered next to the corpse, and half of them were at the door of Du Shi Niang's room, but they kept a distance.
Yue Su glanced at the third daughter and said, "Shi Niang is a little frightened, Qiong Xuan, you go in and help take care of it." Aoyue, you take Xiao Hei with me. ”
He didn't arrange a job for Mu Tianjiao, after all, he was the county lord, how could he call him. However, Mu Tianjiao was already familiar with Shi Niang, and seeing that Yue Su seemed to have something serious, she said, "Sister Qiong, let's go in and see Shi Niang." ”
"Hmm." Li Qiongying nodded obediently, and followed Mu Tianjiao into Shi Niang's room.
Ruan Aoyue quickly led the little black forward, Yue Su led people to the Zhongjin Flower Hall, and after entering, he glanced at the wall and said with a smile: "As expected." As he spoke, he said a word from his bosom and said with a smile: "How can it be so easy to hit the west with my voice." ”
Immediately, Yue Su picked up the painting, took out a box of incense powder, and said: "Aoyue, the painting we lost was coated with some incense powder by me, you let Xiao Hei smell it and see if it can be traced." ”
Ruan Aoyue took the incense powder and said, "This is easy. Then he took the incense powder and put it in front of Xiao Hei's nose. Xiao Hei sniffed for a while, "Wangwang" screamed, turned his head and left.
Yue Su took Ruan Aoyue, Yin Zhu, Tie Qiu and a few soldiers to follow, and followed him all the way to the corner of the wall, it seemed that Ju'er had climbed over the wall.
The courtyard wall can be three meters, and if you are not good, it is very difficult to go up, so Yue Su also thought of Ju'er's kung fu, just that small physique can climb over this wall, and it is by no means an ordinary person. Several people climbed over the wall one after another, and Xiao Hei couldn't climb up to such a high courtyard wall, so he could only help hold it below.
Everyone went out to patrol the road, led by Xiao Hei, and continued to track.
chased all the way, and actually chased to the foot of Luoyang City, looking at the posture, Ju'er should have followed the wall. Luoyang City is not short, it can be three zhang high, even if it is thrown and caught, it is not something that ordinary people can throw up. Yue Su had no choice but to go to the city gate and ask the officers and soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate and go out of the city from below.
When there is no war, how many soldiers are there at the head of the city, and some of them are also above the city gates, and there are no people standing next to them.
Everyone went out of the city gate, followed the city wall to the location where Ju'er climbed over the wall and went out of the city, led by Xiao Hei, and chased out more than half a mile. As a result, even Xiao Hei couldn't smell it.
Xiao Hei turned around twice, looking at the little appearance, he seemed to be very helpless, leaning on Ruan Aoyue's calf, his head hanging low.
Yue Su looked back at the city wall, then at the starry sky, and said: "It seems that the other party has already prepared, there are special people outside the city to lead the horse and wait, the speed of riding the horse is too fast, and it is reasonable that Xiao Hei can't catch up." This is the East Gate, looking at the direction they are going, it should be Yanshi County, Ju'er didn't expect us to follow, and would never mislead us. Let's go back to the city first, and make the cloth again. ”
Yue Su's original intention was to use Xiao Hei to stalk Ju'er, find out the other party's den in Luoyang City, and catch them all. It's just that he didn't calculate it after a thousand calculations, the other party would flee over the city overnight, and what he didn't expect was that the mute girl "Ju'er" who mixed into the mansion turned out to be the Mr. Ye he was looking for.
Returning to the governor's line, Yue Su convened an emergency meeting, and there were very few people attending this meeting, only four people, Yue Su, Xiong Tingbi, Yang Yishan, and Tie Qiu.
Yue Su first introduced the general situation, from his assassination in Yanshi County, Sima Chen and Zhang Guozhu died unknown, and the discovery that the Zhang family had a large treasure, which was very likely to be hidden in the ancestral hall, and it was necessary to open the mechanism to open it. The people of the Dragon Slaying Gang seem to be determined to get this treasure, otherwise they would not have gone to the governor to steal the fake picture with a plan to attack the west. Now that the bandits are fleeing towards Yanshi County, everyone brainstorms to see if they can come up with any way to capture the Dragon Slaying Gang.
Yang Yishan and Tie Qiu both had a general understanding of this situation, only Xiong Tingbi heard of it for the first time, but it was he, the first person to hear about it, after Yue Su finished speaking, he was the first to speak: "I don't know if there is a map of Luoyang and Yanshi County, the old man wants to take a look." ”
As the governor of Henan, how could there be no map of the jurisdiction, and Yue Su still had a special detailed map of Luoyang in his hand. It only includes Luoyang City and the surrounding counties, which is quite detailed. Yue Su asked Yang Yishan to take the picture and spread it on the table.
Xiong Tingbi, a general who had led his troops to fight, stood on the ground and looked at the picture for a while, and said: "My lord, according to your words, the Zhang family should have a lot of wealth, and the amount of this wealth cannot be estimated for the time being, but imagine that if you can attract the Dragon Slaying Gang, it will be at least a million taels away, or even more." If such a large sum of money is to be transported, it is not something that a few people can do, let alone hundreds of people. So many people must always have a place to stay, and the surnames scattered in the city may not be large, after all, it is now an eventful time, and the officers and soldiers should track down suspicious people, and if they do not bind people together, it is very likely that they will be discovered by the government. Therefore, the Dragon Slayer Gang will definitely gather people together, and when the mechanism is opened, they will enter the city to transport the gold and silver out. I just took a look at the terrain around Yanshi County and found that there are two places that are best for hoarding people and horses, and one is here......"
As he spoke, Xiong Tingbi pointed to the map and said: "This is White Horse Town, which is the place from Luoyang to Yanshi, where people come and go endlessly, fish and dragons are mixed, hidden here, not easy to be discovered, and it is easier to hire mules and horses." Then, Xiong Tingbi pointed to one place again, and said: "This is the Jade Dragon Mountain Pass, hiding in the mountain is even safer, if it were me, I would definitely hide people in the Jade Dragon Mountain, prepare the mule cart, just wait for the mechanism to open, and then enter the city to carry it." ”
After listening to Xiong Tingbi's analysis, Yue Su nodded and said, "Yes, these two places are the most suspicious, so I will immediately send someone to make an unannounced visit to see if we can find some clues, and then we will formulate countermeasures to wipe them out." ”
"My lord, in fact, no matter where they are hidden, the old man has a way to catch them all. You don't have to take the initiative, the traitors will come to your door. Xiong Tingbi said very confidently.
"Oh? Bear Lord, please speak. Yue Su hurriedly asked.
"Whether the rebels are hiding in Jade Dragon Mountain or White Horse Town, this is a place that is not easy to attack, and a large number of soldiers and horses are needed. Instead of taking the initiative to attack, it is better to lure the snake out of the hole, and the adult simply sent someone to dig up the Zhang family ancestral hall, regardless of what kind of organ he had, digging three feet into the ground, he didn't believe that he couldn't dig it out. When the treasure is dug up, the rebels will be anxious and will try their best to rob it. In the city, they certainly did not have the courage to do so, and they would definitely ambush the officers and soldiers on the way back to Luoyang with gold and silver. However, whether the rebels will do it or not depends on the number of officers and soldiers, if the adults send four or five thousand people to escort and kill the traitors, they will not dare to do it, if they use a few hundred people to escort them, the traitors will definitely fight desperately. Xiong Tingbi said with a smile.
Forcibly digging up the Zhang family ancestral hall and taking out the treasure, this idea can also be imagined by Xiong Tingbi. That was someone else's ancestral property, Yue Su just wanted to use this to capture the Dragon Slaying Gang, and he never thought of doing such an unreasonable thing and digging it out for others. No wonder when he was in Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi had a nickname, called Xiong Manzi, and he was really unreasonable in doing things.
But it's a really good idea, to lure the rebels out for a decisive battle.
Yue Su pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Xiong, can you be sure that the traitors will definitely dare to send someone to rob them?" This is the hinterland of the Central Plains, even if they get their hands on it for a while, with so much gold and silver, where will they flee? ”
Xiong Tingbi just smiled, "My lord, they even dare to assassinate you, according to your words, they dare to seize the city and escape, in this world, do you think there is anything they dare not do?" ”
Hearing this, a smile also appeared on Yue Su's face, "Yes, is there anything they don't dare to do?" ”
In Henan, that Wang Qilong dared to incite the victims to rebel and assassinate the governor; In Yanjing, there was a Mr. Ye who dared to steal exam questions and recruit candidates openly; In Guizhou, even the county lord and the county horse dare to poison. What else is there that the Dragon Slaying Gang doesn't dare to do, and the rebellion has done a lot, and it's not bad for this and a half. And in Henan, there must be a stronghold of the Dragon Slaying Gang that has not been discovered, they snatch the gold and silver, and then go to the stronghold to hide, and when the limelight comes, it should be no problem to transport it to other places.
However, there was a big problem in front of Yue Su.
