Chapter 310: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake

The iron head went out early in the morning and hurried back in the evening. When he found Xu Liang, Tietou couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

When Xu Liang saw him like this, he guessed that the investigation would be fruitful, and he was not in a hurry, and waited quietly for the iron head to speak.

"Young master, as expected. There was something wrong with the black-clothed wagons. "Tietou Dao," after detailed inquiry, there was another heavy dà discovery. Those carriages did not leave the city at the same time, but were seen by the officers and soldiers of the guards on the city tower at different times. According to detailed comparisons, at least five such carriages left the city in two days and disappeared. ”

Xu Liang asked in shock: "How many carriages are there in a batch of carriages out of the city?" ”

"At least seven or eight."

"That is, at least forty or fifty wagons with unknown objects left the city?" Xu Liang asked.

"Yes." Tietou said with certainty, "Moreover, according to the information inquired by the detectives of the Pingliang Investigation Department distributed in the city, in the first two days of the incident, someone booked twelve carriages in the carriage and horse shop, and they did not return to the city until yesterday when the city gate was opened. I've sent someone to investigate. ”

Xu Liang nodded, although it was still uncertain what was in the dozens of carriages, at least it was not an ordinary object. Xu Liang became more and more sure that there was a conspiracy in it. And judging from the current situation, Anton Zhongwei must be involved. Xu Liang instructed Tsing Yiwei to secretly strengthen the monitoring of Ye Yanqing, the commander of Anton Zhongwei, and Huang Ziren, the commander of the commander. A battalion of men and horses was also transferred from the camp of Jitou Mountain to settle in Pingliang to strengthen the inventory of entering and leaving Pingliang.

After arranging these things, as soon as Xu Liang returned to the study, a guard in Tsing Yi came to report: "My lord." Hu Xiaoyong in prison asks to see you. ”

Xu Liang was stunned when he heard this, and calculated the time. Since the last time Xu Liang gave a two-day deadline, it has been exactly two days now. Hu Xiaoyong wanted to see himself at this time, most likely because he wanted to confess, but he only thought about confessing at the last moment, which shows that he still has a fluke mentality.

"Does he want to confess?" Xu Liang chuckled.

The guard looked disdainful and said: "The lord gave a two-day deadline, and the subordinates saw that the time was up, so they planned to finish him off according to the order, but I didn't think that as soon as this kid heard that his subordinates were going to send him on the road, he immediately cried bitterly and clamored to see the lord." ”

Xu Liang smiled dumbly. Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaoyong was not a fluke, but afraid of death.

Xu Liang entered the dungeon and saw Hu Xiaoyong for the second time in that small room.

Hu Baihu's demeanor was much richer this time, resentment and fear were entangled on his face, and when he saw Xu Liang, he threw himself at Xu Liang's feet, snorting and tearing: "Lord Xu, the little one knows that he is wrong." The small ones are willing to recruit anything, and they only ask the adults to let the small ones live. ”

Xu Liang looked disgusted. He said in a deep voice: "This official didn't come to this prison to listen to you cry bitterly. ”

Hu Baihu used his hands and legs together, hurriedly got up from the ground, bowed his head with a look of remorse and said, "Little confession." Commander Ye snatched the right to defend the West City Gate for another purpose. ”

"For what purpose?"

"He's going to smuggle a batch of weapons out of the city!" Hu Baihu Road.

Sure enough, Xu Liang leaned forward slightly. "Where did the weapons come from and where are they going to go?" ”

Hu Baihu shook his head. Said: "This little one really doesn't know. Master Xu, you also know that the small one is just a small hundred-household official. There are many things about the adults above, and the small ones don't have the right to know. ”

"Then how did you know that Commander Ye was going to transport a weapon?" Xu Liang didn't seem to believe him at all, and asked with a scornful smile.

"Hehe, these small ones are not clear." Hu Baihu said curtly: "It's just that the small one was ordered to guard the west city gate, and the command of the Tongzhi Lord Huang Ziren gave the small one the order to take a batch of carriages covered with black tarpaulins out of the city. Although the little one didn't open the tarpaulin on the carriage, he paid close attention to it a few times, and still made the little one see clearly what was on the carriage, which was the brand-new batches of Pu Dao bows and arrows. The little one remembers very clearly that the carriages were divided into five batches, ranging from eight to a dozen in each batch, and that they were arranged to leave the city gate every three or four hours. ”

"Where did those wagons end up?" Xu Liang had already believed seven or eight points at this time.

"Lord Xu, the small one vouches for my personality, and the small one really doesn't know. The little ones only knew that the carriages went out of the city and headed west. Hu Baihu shouted.

Xu Liang looked at him coldly and snorted, "Just like you, you also have a personality?" ”

Hu Baihu said embarrassedly: "It's still a little bit ......."

Xu Liang snorted and waved his hand for the guards to escort Hu Baihu back to prison. Hu Baihu struggled and shouted: "Master Xu, the little one knows everything, why don't you still believe me?" Please, let me go? ”

Xu Liang pouted and said, "If it is confirmed that what you said is true, I will naturally let you out." ”

Xu Liang completely believed Hu Xiaoyong's words, and Commander Ye did not hesitate to offend himself to seize the right to guard the West City Gate, with the purpose of sending a batch of weapons out of the city. However, Anton Zhongwei has been declining in the past two years, the sergeants have not been paid military salaries all year round, and the guards themselves are so poor that they have no ability to get so many dozens of weapons.

So, who is Commander Ye helping? In other words, who is Commander Ye? Xu Liang stood at the door of the dungeon, facing the cold wind, thinking in a daze, he had gone through all the big names in Shaanxi in his mind, and he was not sure which big man Ye was loyal to for a while.

When Xu Liang was pondering Commander Ye, Commander Ye and Commander Huang Ziren were sitting in the living room of the Han Wangfu in Pingliang, and the Han Wangye moved to live in the other courtyard of Xi'an Mansion two years ago, and the Han Wangfu in Pingliang was only the director of the Han Wangzi. At this time, Zhu Zijian, the prince of Han Wang, drank all the waiters and Yahuan subordinates, and in the entire living room, except for Ye and Huang, there were only Han Shizi Zhu Zijian and Han Wangfu guest Gao Zilin.

The four of them sat quietly, their faces a little gloomy.

Anton Zhongwei commanded Ye Yanqing to bring Huang Ziren to ask for advice from Han Wang Shizi this time, naturally he refused to remain silent, he said anxiously to Han Shizi and Gao Zilin: "Pingliang knows that Xu Liang is secretly tracking down those delivery carriages, yesterday, the people of Xu Mansion have already found the head of Ye's carriage and horse shop, and it won't take long for them to find out everything." When the time comes, we will be in great trouble. ”

Han Shizi knocked lightly on the coffee table, humming a slight Jiangnan minor tune in his mouth, and did not answer.

Seeing this, Commander Ye also became angry, and said angrily: "Shizi, this time we are all doing things for you. Your business is done, but you don't care if we live or die? Hmph, you are ruthless, Hugh blames General Ben for being unjust, it really comes to a critical juncture, and General Ben has no choice but to shake out all those things about the son of the world. ”

Han Shizi's brows gradually furrowed, twisted into a Sichuan shape, glanced at Commander Ye unhappily, and then turned his gaze on Huang Ziren, and asked dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter with you Anton Zhongwei?" Xiao Wang just asked you to help send things out of the city, but he didn't want you to kill people! I still want to kill the dignified Pingliang guerrilla general! Now it's okay, the fire surnamed Xu is burning! ”

Huang Ziren's face was worse than anyone else's, and he said in distress: "I don't know what's going on, Liu Ge has always been duty, he will suddenly hurt Dai Feng, even I am very puzzled." ”

Han Shizi scolded: "If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates!" How can such an unruly person be promoted to a hundred household officials? ”

Huang Ziren said: "Liu Ge is a person who attaches great importance to affection and righteousness, and I know how to repay his kindness, I have a great kindness to him, most likely because he saw me arguing with that Dai Feng that day, and he was not angry in his heart, so he acted angrily." ”

Commander Ye stopped and said, "Okay, Liu Ge is dead, and he is still talking about what he does!" Now it's better to think about how to get through this difficult time. ”

Han Shizi sighed, turned to look at Keqing Gao Zilin, and asked, "Zilin, in your opinion, what should I do?" ”

Commander Ye and Huang Tongzhi knew that this person was Han Shizi's confidant and strategist, so they couldn't help but set their eyes on Gao Zilin.

Gao Zilin was dressed in a white robe, wearing a scarf on his head, a paper fan on his shoulder, and a sour pedant. I saw Gao Zilin take out the paper fan, unfold it and fan it a few times, and felt that the fan was full of cool breeze, so he stopped shaking the fan awkwardly, shook his head and groaned for a while, looked at the crowd, smiled confidently, and said confidently: "For today's plan, as long as you bite Lord Ye, you are acting according to the warrant order of Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang." As for Liu Ge's arrow wounding Pingliang guerrilla general Dai Feng, it was purely Liu Ge's personal behavior, and had nothing to do with Anton Zhongwei, Lord Ye and Lord Huang. As for the carriage of goods, it is even more imaginary! By the way, after Lord Ye goes back, he might as well draft a sealed document to explain that Liu Ge has been cleared out of Anton Zhongwei before committing the murder! ”

"Wonderful! Great! Commander Ye thought for a while, couldn't help laughing, and said to Gao Zilin: "Mr. Gao is talented, Ye admires!" ”

After getting Gao Zilin's clever plan, Commander Ye pulled Huang Ziren to dare to return to the station to make preparations.

After Han Shizi waited for Ye and Huang left, he sighed towards Gao Zilin: "It's a pity that Liu Ge can't be used by me after all." ”

Gao Zilin got up and bowed deeply to Han Shizi, and complimented: "A reckless man who shoots arrows, for the sake of the prince's plan, he sacrificed it, why should the prince be obsessed." As long as the big thing can be accomplished, then the prince will be the hero of the founding of the country, and the entire Ming Dynasty will have to look at the face of the prince. ”

Gao Zilin said inspiringly, but Han Shizi didn't react much when he heard it. He looked at the gray sky in the distance and sighed softly, "I hope so." (To be continued......)
