Chapter 23: Thieves in the middle of the night

Although Luoyang and Hedong County are both subordinate to the Division, almost out of the boundary of Luoyang can go to Hedong County, but from Luoyang to Hedong County's Taishou garrison Anyi, it also takes a few days, so Zhang Yi had to prepare the food and drink of his group of people on the road, just the food and drink of more than 1,000 people cost Zhang Yi nearly 1,000 taels of gold, plus the money to buy equipment for the new army, now Zhang Yi has less than 1,000 gold left in his hand, but he still has 2,000 taels of gold in his money village that has not moved, so it is not poor in a short time.

Sitting in the carriage and counting the little gold he had left, Zhang Yi felt a headache.

"Hey, the eating, drinking and Lazar of more than 1,000 people will cost dozens of taels a day, this is really a headache, if it weren't for the nearly two thousand gold contributed by the county magistrate, I would have become a poor egg now!" Rubbing his swollen head, Zhang Yi said in his heart, Sima Wei must be accurate, otherwise after he arrives in Anyi, he will really be poor as pants.

After all, it is close to Luoyang, along the way Zhang Yi except for seeing some refugees fleeing the famine, there was no accident, the three teams of people arrived in Pingyin County one after another, and after crossing the boundary of Pingyin County, Zhang Yi will officially step into Hedong County.

After entering Pingyin County, Zhang Yi took his team to live in the post house, while the two teams led by Huang Zhong and Sima Wei were camped outside Pingyin City.

Everyone was very tired along the way, so after Zhang Luo finished dinner, Zhang Yi sent them to rest, although Zhang Yi also sat in a carriage for a while on the way, but he was still tired to death, and he has been on the road these days, that is, Zhang Yi's body is good, if he really changes to a nerd who is powerless, I am afraid that he will be tired and lie down.

rewarded the post officer with five taels of gold, Zhang Yi instructed the post officer to boil more water, and soaked the feet of his subordinates, and then Zhang Yi read the spring and autumn while soaking his feet.

As the night deepened, Zhang Yi yawned and stretched, and then began to undress and prepare to sleep, but as soon as he took off his clothes, he heard a commotion outside.

"Stop! Come on, there's a thief! ”

"Catch him!"

"You guys, go protect your lords!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

After hearing the noise outside, Zhang Yi suddenly fell asleep, immediately put on his outer robe, and pulled out the Spirit Wind Sword beside the bed; I didn't even bother to put on my shoes, so I ran out barefoot.

As soon as he ran out of the room, Zhang Yi immediately asked the soldiers outside the room, "What happened?" ”

The soldier saw that it was Zhang Yi, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Lord Hui, it seems that General Gao discovered the thief." ”

"Thief? How can there be thieves in a post house? Frowning, Zhang Yi said to the soldier: "Go, call the post officer, I have something to ask him." ”

"No!"

After clasping his fists at Zhang Yi, the soldier hurriedly went down to the second floor and ran to the post officer's room.

"Thief? It seems that tomorrow's road may not be too quiet. With a cold smile, Zhang Yi's eyes showed a terrifying coldness.

At the same time that Zhang Yi sent someone to call the post officer, Gao Shun hurriedly went up to the second floor with two soldiers.

Seeing Gao Shun coming, Zhang Yi felt a little relieved, and hurriedly asked what happened, after Gao Shun confessed, he said to Zhang Yi: "Lord Qiqi, when the last general was patrolling the night just now, he found two suspicious people, and he wanted to call them for interrogation, but as soon as the two saw the last general calling them, they immediately turned around and fled, and the soldiers under him did not know why, so they shouted, disturbed the adult, and hoped that the adult would atone for his sins." ”

Gao Shun's official position is lieutenant Zhonglang, and his official position is from the five-rank military attachΓ©, and he is already considered a general, so there is nothing wrong with him calling himself the last general.

After listening to Gao Shun's explanation, Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Well, it seems that someone is eyeing us, in this way, General Gao, you go and arrange the matter of the night patrol, be sure to be careful about our grain and grass, and then you send two people who are careful to do things to inform Hansheng and Mr. Sima of what happened on our side as soon as possible, remember, you must not let people know that we have contact with the other two teams, understand?" ”

"No!"

After holding his fists, Gao Shun immediately returned to the second floor and began to arrange the task of patrolling the night, he divided the three hundred people into three teams, each team guarded the night for two hours, and at the same time selected two shrewd and cautious people, and assigned the task assigned by Zhang Yi.

Although he knew that the comer was not good, Zhang Yi didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, now that he was staying in Pingyin County, those thieves didn't dare to come to the county town to assassinate him, so after explaining the task to Gao Shun, he turned back to the room, but he didn't rest, but sat on the couch in his robe and waited for the arrival of the post officer.

"Xiaguan see Lord Taishou," as soon as the post official entered Zhang Yi's room, he hurriedly knelt down, and at the same time said in his mouth: "Xiaguan should be damned, he actually let the thieves come in and disturbed the adult." ”

"Lord Zhou, please get up," smiled and waved his hand at the post officer, Zhang Yi smiled: "I have traveled from my hometown Runan to Nanyang, and then from Nanyang to Yingchuan, and from Yingchuan to Luoyang, and then to Lord Zhou, I have also encountered a lot of robbers along the way, and I don't care about these two thieves who steal chickens and dogs, so you don't have to panic." ”

Although the post official is the lowest official in the ninth grade, he is also an official of the imperial court, so Zhang Yi is still very polite to him.

"That's, that's," carefully owes the debt, and the post officer flattered: "The adults are very human at first glance, and naturally they are very bold, just two little thieves, naturally they won't let the adults hurt their minds, I'm ...... here."

"Lord Zhou," interrupting the post officer's whisker and patting the horse, Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Although I don't take those two thieves seriously, I am still a little worried about the thieves in Hedong County." ”

Hearing Zhang Yi mention the thieves in Hedong County, the post officer looked up at Zhang Yi, bit his lip, and deliberately made a look of wanting to say something.

Zhang Yi naturally understood the expression of the post official, he wanted Zhang Yi's gold.

"Lord Zhou," reached out and grabbed a few ingots of about thirty taels of gold from the box on the bed, Zhang Yi squinted his eyes and said, "Lord Zhou told me what you know, this gold is yours." ”

After seeing the gold in Zhang Yi's hand, the post official's eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly smiled and nodded again and again, while telling Zhang Yi everything he knew.

It turned out that after Pingyin, Zhang Yi and they must pass through Wangwu Mountain, and this is also the fastest way to enter and exit Hedong County, which is almost the only way for Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi is not happy on Wangwu Mountain, because on Wangwu Mountain, there are a large number of bandits, about three or four hundred people, and that group of bandits has been entrenched in Wangwu Mountain for more than ten years.

The post official simply explained the situation of the Wangwu Mountain bandits to Zhang Yi, but the last sentence of the post official said meaningfully, Zhang Yi was already the fifth Hedong County Taishou he received in this year.
