Chapter Eighty-Five: Caught 2 (Two in One)
This tunnel obviously paid attention to a lot of things when it was designed, not only is it wide, but also the ventilation and lighting facilities are very complete, and there are not only torches prepared inside, but also direct sunlight, so you don't have to worry about lighting at all when you walk inside.
The most important thing is that even if it is sunny outside, there is still a hint of coolness inside.
"This is obviously not something that can be done by one person, and there should be other uses for such a wide tunnel."
Hao Jian frowned, glanced at Li Daozheng beside him and said.
"When you say this, I suddenly remember that one of my students in the Ministry of Industry once told me that when many border cities were established, some strategic facilities were set up in case of emergency. Now it seems that this should be a strategic facility in Cheonggye County. ”
Li Daozheng touched his beard, although he was an official of the Ministry of Rites, it could be seen that he still had knowledge. Especially since he is now in the position of Shangshu, he naturally knows a lot more than Hao Jian.
The tunnel in Qingxi County is not only wide, but also strong, it is impossible to be the strength of one person, then there is only one possibility that this is an organization to repair. And if you can do it in the place of the government, then the eight achievements are made by the government's own people.
Hao Jian nodded, very much in agreement with Li Daozheng's statement.
This tunnel is very long, I don't know how long, and finally came to the end: "My lord, it's not good, this exit has been sealed, and there should be a stone pressed on it." ”
But when they reached the exit, a soldier ran anxiously and said.
This exit is the same as the entrance, with a wooden plank facing upwards as a door, separating the two sides.
Hearing this, Hao Jian smiled: "It seems that this Li Xiancheng is not a fool, and he thinks about things in detail." Chisel with an axe, be careful, don't chisel yourself. ”
Fortunately, when Hao Jian left, he let these soldiers put on axes, but he didn't expect to use them.
"I don't think it's better to take risks, Hao Dianyuan, let's go back, I don't know what is out there!"
At this time, Li Daozheng had a bad premonition in his heart, although they had more than a dozen Praetorian Guards in their hands, but they didn't know the situation outside, it was not wrong to be careful.
Hao Jian shook his head: "Since they have sealed the exit, this shows that they have gone far, and the purpose of this is to block our speed." ”
Several Praetorian Guards still decided to carry out Hao Jian's order, picked up their axes and struck towards the template.
Bouncing!
After several strong impacts in a row, there was a squeak from the formwork, and then it broke into several pieces and fell, along with some large and small stones, which fell to the ground with a bang.
Some of the unnoticed Praetorian Guards were injured by falling rocks because they got too close, but fortunately, the particles of this stone were not large, and there were only a few splashes, and the injuries were not very serious.
Although the wooden planks were broken into seven or eight pieces, there was no strong light from the outside to enter, which showed that the exit should be in some room.
"My lord, this is the City God Temple outside the city."
The City God Temple, built outside the city, is dedicated to the City God, but after the completion of the City God Temple, there is no popularity, and now it is abandoned.
After confirming that it was safe, the Praetorian Guards walked out first, followed by Hao Jian and Li Daozheng.
The exit of this tunnel is set behind the statue of the city god, which is very secret, and if you don't look carefully, you really don't know that there is such an exit in this place.
The temple was built very large, but because there was no one to worship, all the buildings here were dilapidated, and the tiles on the beams had long since disappeared.
"It seems that this city god is not very effective, and business is not good."
Hao Jian smiled and walked out of the City God Temple.
In addition to the Chenghuang Temple, there are three roads in front of Hao Jian, one is to Qingshui County, which is the Linxian of Qingxi County, and the other is to Longyuguan, and the last one is to return to Qingxi Town.
This Li Xin naturally couldn't run in the direction of going back, and as for the remaining two places, Hao Jian didn't know which one Li Xin chose. However, Hao Jian had a hunch that he and Li Xin would not meet for the last time.
"Hao Dianyuan, come and see, this exit can only be opened from the outside. This Li Xin, they were released by others! ”
At this time, Li Daozheng ran to Hao Jian's face excitedly and said to Hao Jian.
Frowning for a moment, Hao Jian returned to the City God Temple and walked to the entrance, sure enough, as Li Daozheng said, this is the entrance, and the outside is the entrance to the inside, because the valve that closes the wooden board is outside.
In other words, Li Xin's people were released.
"Could it be Chang Wei, he has the best relationship with Li Xin."
Li Daozheng just thought about it.
Shaking his head, Hao Jian wouldn't believe that Chang Wei did it, after all, there were several people around Chang Wei who were monitoring him now, and it was not easy for him to make small moves in front of so many people. Moreover, it would take one or twenty minutes to return to Qingxi County from the Chenghuang Temple, and it was impossible for him to do it.
"It can't be him." Hao Jian shook his head: "Yesterday and today, so many documents and officials were released, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be their henchmen inside, it should be them, or some people we can't think of releasing them." ”
After all, Li Xin of Qingxi County is the head snake of the land, and there are many innate advantages that Hao Jian can't compare.
"So what do we do now? Chasing Li Xin? ”
Li Daozheng asked curiously.
"No, just issue a wanted warrant, send one to the nearby state capitals, and we'll go back first."
Waving his hand, Hao Jian first ordered these Praetorian Guards to restore the exit to its original state, so that the entrance should be sealed first, and the exit of the cell should also be properly handled, lest the prison become a paradise for criminals in the future.
After dealing with these things, Hao Jian and Li Daozheng walked towards Qingxi County together.
The news of Li Xin's escape soon came out, but this was not strange to the people at all, after all, Li Xin could not turn over now, and what was waiting for him was wanted by the imperial court.
This is the people under the feudal system, although they are afraid of being officials, but they can only ask them for everything, as long as they are not too bad-hearted, then the people will not easily rebel, nonsense.
Hao Jian did not live up to the high expectations of the villagers, and after returning in the afternoon, he issued a wanted document, and then passed it to the state capitals and handed over the files to the Criminal Department.
"There are still tunnels in this Qingxi County?"
When he heard about the authentic things in Qingxi County, Zhao Guangyi's eyes widened, and he looked at Hao Jian and the others in surprise.
"Don't even the prince know?"
Li Daozheng looked at Zhao Guangyi in surprise.
"I've only heard of it before, and the nearby counties and cities have strategic arrangements for emergencies, but I don't know exactly what they are. It was prepared at the time of the founding of the country, and how many people can remember it now? ”
Zhao Guangyi shook his head and sighed.
Sometimes Zhao Guangyi, as a local prince, is unqualified as a border official for many times, and he is not clear about many things.
For such a Zhao Guangyi, why did Li Xin remind himself to be careful?
"After all, they are locals, and they have held important positions in Qingxi County for many years, so they naturally know some secrets that we don't know, which is nothing."
Hao Jian didn't care about these things, after all, he had ordered the entrance and exit to be sealed today, so as not to be known by outsiders and it would be troublesome to attack Qingxi County from the outside.
After all, Qingxi County can now be said to be embattled, but it can't be sloppy.
"What about Chang Wei?"
Zhao Guangyi asked curiously.
Now what makes people curious is, why did Li Xin leave Chang Wei behind before leaving? How good would it be to take him away when he left, but let him stay by Hao Jian's side?
"Don't worry about him for the time being, he knows about smelling incense, just guard against him."
Since Li Xin dared to keep Chang Wei, it means that Chang Wei is not a big threat to him, even if Chang Wei is Li Xin's confidant, there are so many people in Qingxi County, what kind of waves can he make alone?
Zhao Guangyi nodded, and Li Daozheng didn't say anything.
After all, Li Xin's escape did not bring them any substantial harm, and the most important thing now was to deal with the matter of the Wenxiang Sect and the matter of the bandits outside the city.
Next, Hao Jian and the others discussed the matter of dealing with the Wenxiang Sect, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
……
The night was dark tonight, and there was no moon in the sky.
The officials of the county government were lying on the ground and asleep, and only the Praetorian Guards and border troops responsible for the safety of the prince were still patrolling the county government to ensure the safety of the prince.
It was at this time that several black shadows sneaked into the county office: "Which room?" ”
These black shadows easily avoided the patrolling Praetorian Guards and the border troops who were on guard, and shuttled through the county government with ease.
"It's just ahead, everyone be careful, there are many eyes and ears right now. The movements are a little smaller, and you have to expose yourself when you don't play. ”
This group of people were all dressed in black and black-faced, showing only a pair of eyes, and wrapped themselves tightly.
Soon, several people entered Hao Jian's room in the dark.
Hao Jian's room is the one in the most corner of the back office. There is no way, there are more VIPs in Qingxi County, and there are several princes and adults. A good house is naturally for Zhao Guangyi to live in, Duan Zichong is the son of a high-ranking official, and the most important thing is that he has soldiers in his hands, and the room is naturally better.
There was no way for Hao Jian to bully Li Daozheng, so he chose this house.
Hearing the strange noise outside the house, Hao Jian opened his eyes and was about to get up to see what was going on.
But just when he was about to get up, he found that there were several more burly men around him, and before he could react, he felt his head heavy and fainted......
In this quiet night, the county magistrate of Qingxi County was taken away in this way.
Chapter Eighty-Six: Smelling the Fragrance Sect of the Holy Maiden
The next day.
Another shocking news came out, Hao Xianling, who had just been in office for only one day, disappeared, and according to reliable information, eighty percent of them were kidnapped, and it is not yet known who did it.
Only one day after taking office, Lord Hao was able to scare away 30,000 bandits outside the city and save the people from fire and water. Although he has not taken office in Qingxi County, he has been in charge of all the people who have plagued Qingxi County for many years, although all these people disappeared the next day......
It was at this time that the people of Qingxi County noticed that this Hao County Order was actually ill-fated, and when the imperial examination was at the last pass, he fainted in the Jinluan Palace, directly lost the position of the champion, and was insulted by the emperor to give a position of Dianyuan, and he was not even given the Jinshi background, but only gave a Jinshi background.
When he was appointed as the county magistrate of Qingxi County, he fainted in front of the palace with hunger, and the directly tired Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was relegated to Qingxi County as a little scholar by Shuanggui.
Even on the way to office, it was not so peaceful, and he was caught by the mountain bandits, but I don't know what method this Lord Hao Jianhao used to stir the mountain bandits into a pot of porridge, but he walked safely to Qingxi County.
Now that we have arrived in Qingxi County, we have not only scared away the bandits, but also cleaned up the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Qingxi County, and when we were about to show our strength, our Lord Hao was arrested again.
"It has been determined that Lord Hao should have been taken captive. The other party's technique is very capable, and he should be proficient. ”
A border army leader inspected the scene, came to Zhao Guangyi's side, and waved his hand at Zhao Guangyi and said.
"Familiar? It seems that this familiar hand knows Qingxi County very well, but what did they do when they kidnapped Lord Hao? ”
Duan Zichong frowned on the side, he and the Praetorian Guards couldn't help him with this investigation of the case, so he could only rely on the border troops around Zhao Guangyi.
"Now is not the time to care about this, we have to know who attacked Hao Dianyuan, so that we know how to deal with it!"
Li Daozheng glanced at the blood stains on the head of the bed, although it was not much, but it meant that Hao Jian was now in a very dangerous situation.
"It's either a bandit or a smelling incense sect."
Zhao Guangyi didn't have to think about it, he just said directly.
Now there are only these two enemies in Qingxi County, and their purpose in capturing Hao Jian is nothing more than to leave Qingxi County without a leader, or to take it out and negotiate with the imperial court.
"So, what then?"
Mao Zi was anxious and almost jumped up, but the few people in front of him were all big shots, and he didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of offending them. But in the current situation, he began to worry about Hao Jian again, thieves are not good things, and the same is true of cults.
"What's the hurry? Hao Jian, a few of Hao Dianyuan's opponents have a good end, let's still pray that this Hao Dianyuan won't make any big trouble for us. ”
Li Daozheng is not worried, he has seen Hao Jian's methods of stirring up brute entanglement and mud, so he is not worried about Hao Jian.
……
Talk about two ends.
At this time, Hao Jianzheng was locked in a room, surrounded by people, he touched his head, and ate a sticky stick on the back of his head, which is now scabbed, but it still hurts a little.
"Who are you?"
first rubbed his head, then looked at a few people around him and said.
There were a lot of people in the room, most of them were wearing uniform clothes, the house was quite large, these people stood in two rows, all of them were staring at Hao Jian, but no one spoke.
"Lord Hao, we're meeting again!"
At this time, a person in a position opposite Hao Jian spoke.
The man's voice was soft, but it was clearly audible that it was a male voice.
"Meet? I haven't seen you, you've mistaken someone! ”
Squinted at the person opposite, but the light was too dim, and Hao Jian couldn't see anything.
"Bold, how dare you speak to the Holy Maiden like this!"
At this time, a person next to this person stood up and scolded Hao Jian, and at the same time, the people around him also put on a stinky face and looked at Hao Jian.
Saint?
At this time, Hao Jian raised his eyebrows, how could this saint be a man, why didn't she pay attention last time?
"What are you doing with me? I don't seem to have offended you, did I? ”
Hao Jian asked curiously towards a few people.
"Don't scare Lord Hao," the holy woman got up, said a few words to the people around her, and then walked in front of Hao Jian: "Lord Hao has not offended us for the time being. But we all know that one day Lord Hao will also attack us. It's no wonder that Lord Hao is too strong, with a thousand Praetorian Guards who can only look at it, they can actually scare away the group of fools in the Wolf Tooth Village, it can be seen that Lord Hao is not an ordinary person, and I'm afraid he will deal with us next, right? ”
The saint girl walked closer and closer to Hao Jian, but Hao Jian saw it clearly, this saint did not wear a veil today, and she couldn't see anything in the dim light, but when the saint approached, Hao Jian clearly saw the saint's Adam's apple!
It's the Adam's apple!
A saint actually has an Adam's apple?
"Are you male or female?"
Hao Jianli immediately became indifferent to what the holy woman said, and shouted at him.
"Bold, we holy hermaphrodites, how can you mortals measure it? Don't use your mortal eyes to look at us saints! ”
Before the saint could speak, the maid on the side took the initiative to stand up, pointed at Hao Jian's nose and scolded loudly.
Holy woman, still hermaphroditic?
You cults are really good at playing, and you just found a pseudo-girl and said that she was the chosen one?
"Am I mortal?" Hao Jian sneered a few times when he heard this: "I'm a left golden boy, and you won't go to Beijing to inquire!" ”
Zuo Jintong's title Hao Jian teased Xu Wan's bottle, and the people of Beijing spoofed it, and even Emperor Dakang called Hao Jian with a smile and called Zuo Jintong. And after it was introduced to Qingxi County, this title also came over, but there were fewer people who were willing to accept it, who called Hao Jian had a bad reputation at that time.
"Left Golden Boy?"
Hearing Hao Jian say this, the holy woman smiled: "In this way, Lord Hao is still the reincarnation of the immortal gods?" It just so happens that this holy woman is also the reincarnation of Buddhism Bodhi, I want to see if you are Master Hao, your immortal law is superb, or my Dharma is boundless? ”
After saying that, the saint didn't talk nonsense, waved her hand, and a group of people took out a pile of wood and began to pile it up.
Seeing this scene, Hao Jian's eyes widened, no, it's just a joke, are you going to burn me?
"You're trying to burn me?"
Hao Jian looked at the few people who were busy and said unhurriedly.
"What do you think?"
The saint smiled and said calmly.
