Lin Anluo was very anxious, but after all, the general of the defeated army, concerned about his identity, did not return to the city directly from the south gate. ≥，

He borrowed a mule from Chen Wu, made a big circle, and arrived at the unbesieged northern city wall. Carrying a continent-wide white flag, and being alone, the few defenders on the north wall did not attack. As he got closer, someone immediately recognized him as the Protector General.

"It's General Lin!"

Everyone knows that Lin Anluo failed to quell the rebellion before and fell to the enemy in Xiayang Valley. Because of this, they were all surprised to see Lin Anluo returning alone at the moment. But after all, this is the highest military commander in Wu'an, and he is the son-in-law of the Lin family, but no one dares to slack off. Several defender soldiers put down the rope basket with all hands and feet, and pulled Lin Anluo to the top of the city.

"Quick, prepare the horses!"

The mule from before was as slow as the old horse. Lin An couldn't stand the speed, so he threw the mule directly under the city, changed a horse and went straight to Lin's house.

Due to the speed, the inner bend of the gate almost knocked down two patrolling soldiers.

On weekdays, with Lin Anluo's cultivation, he will inevitably dismount and apologize, so as not to affect the reputation of the Lin family. But today, he could only apologize in his heart, and then dropped the sentence "Go to the Lin Mansion to receive compensation", and walked away non-stop, leaving behind two unlucky people who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

"Uncle is back!"

Seeing Lin Anluo suddenly return to the city without warning, the subordinates of the Lin Mansion were also quite surprised, but they immediately came back to their senses. The one who leads the horse leads the horse, and the one who goes back to deliver the news. Although he was very worried about his wife and children, but the big thing was ahead, Lin Anluo didn't care about seeing them, and ran directly to Lin Anhe's study.

Seeing the secret letter and arrow book in front of him, the head of the Lin family was also taken aback.

But he was even more suspicious of the origin of this arrow book!

All kinds of conspiracy power tricks. Lin An has seen too much at this age. He didn't believe that such a secret thing would be stolen back by Lin Anluo without guard. But Lin Anhe also knew that his son-in-law was still quite knowledgeable, otherwise the Lin family would not have piled up resources on him and pushed him to the position of protector general in Taiping County.

Since the other party took it out. There must be some certainty.

"Lord Taishan, it's like this......"

Lin Anluo briefly recounted his previous experience.

When he heard that his son-in-law was stolen by luck, unlike the thief who deliberately leaked it to him, Lin Anhe paid a little more attention to it.

"If this arrow book is true......

He groaned, looking a little hesitant, and after a moment he made up his mind.

Such a heavy thing would rather be believed than not. Whether it's true or not, let's find out the letter writer first. On the one hand, the Lin family immediately convened a meeting; On the other hand. The rubbings of this secret letter were quickly whipped by the Lin family's family and sent to the governor's palace.

"Lin Anluo is back?"

Getting the news, Qian Boming was a little surprised and relieved.

Since the person came back alive, he didn't have to face the pressure of the Lin family. But then, when he saw the secret letter of the arrow book, he fell into a state of thunderous rage.

There are anti-thieves who are in turmoil, and Qian Boming is helpless, after all, the officials force the people to rebel. It's been there since ancient times. However, the officers and soldiers of the county under his rule. There were people who fornicated with the thief army with the intention of cooperating with the outside world, which made Qian Boming intolerable no matter what. After the outrage, he immediately recruited several of his henchmen, such as Qiu Wende, the director of the Finance Department, Qian Yi, the captain of the guard of the Governor's Palace, and Kang He, the commander of the 1st Garrison Brigade who could not be bypassed no matter what!

"It can't be!"

After reading the copied arrow book, Kanghe's first reaction was impossible.

He had faith in his men. I don't think they will defect to the enemy for no reason. Seeing that Qian Boming's face was expressionless, he did not define the matter, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Excellency Governor, this matter is quite strange. The lowly suspicion is that the thief made the trick, and deliberately made me suspicious. Disturb the morale of our army, and even make a self-destruction of the city wall, so that the relatives and enemies are happy. ”

Qian Boming is also worried.

If this arrow book had been sent by someone else, he would not have made such a big move, but would have secretly investigated first, and then called someone when he had enough evidence. However, this arrow book was personally stolen by the general of the Protector Army, Lin Anluo, from the Chinese military tent of the Taiping Bandit Army, and its credibility is naturally different.

In Wu'an City, anyone can be a thief, but only the Lin family of the Eight Great Gates will not.

Qian Boming firmly believes in this.

It was precisely because of the special identity of the Lin family, coupled with his understanding of Lin Anluo's ability, that he was inclined to believe that this belief was true. Seeing Kang He's rebuttal, Qian Boming asked: "If the thief really wants to make a trick, why don't you directly specify the object?" You see that this letter does not even mention a person's name from beginning to end, and it is obvious that the writer deliberately disguised his identity. Ben Du thinks that this arrow book is very credible! ”

"This ......"

Kang He was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Qian Boming's rhetorical question is indeed not unreasonable. If you want to plant a, at least there must be a target for spoofing. The thief is so confident, with such a headless and tailless arrow book, the government can find out who is the inner ghost?

Even if it does, it will take a lot of time, and it doesn't make sense.

Qian Yi, the captain of the guard of the Governor's Mansion and Qian Boming's mother's family, had a much simpler view: "What does it mean to be humble means, don't care if this letter is true or false, try to find out the possible letter writer first." Although the letter is not signed, there are still some clues. ”

"At that time, the army will attack the southern city in a hurry, and the defenders will be tight, so we will transfer other city wall officers and troops to assist in the defense, and we will take the opportunity to fight back."

This sentence proves that the writer was not the official army who is now located in the southern city wall.

"After the city is broken, I have nothing else to ask for, but to ask the head of the Zhang family to sacrifice the ......spirit of the sister in the sky."

There are many people with the surname Zhang in Wu'an, but there is only one Zhang family in the real sense.

Several people discussed it word by word, and soon got a rough search scope: the letter writer was most likely an officer, and he was not on the southern city wall for the past two days, and he had a grudge against the Zhang family because of his dead sister......

In Wu'an City, there are now at least two garrison brigades, with 8,000 people. Even if only the officers are checked, it is not easy, and it will cause a lot of turmoil. Qiu Wende's eyes rolled and he thought of a way: ask the Zhang family to send someone over to help.

This thing. Obviously has something to do with the Zhang family.

Outsiders don't know, they themselves must know the inside story!

Qian Boming had this intention, and when he heard this, he immediately sent someone to Zhang's house in Wu'an.

Moments later, Zhang Shangde, the eldest son of the current head of the Zhang family, rushed over in a carriage. After reading this arrow book, he recalled for a moment and seemed to have the goal in mind. His face changed suddenly, and he suddenly stomped his feet and scolded: "Good dog thief!" actually harbored evil intentions, intending to take revenge on my Zhang family! ”

"Who is this person?"

Including Governor Qian Boming, Qian Yi, Qiu Wende, Kang He and others all looked solemn.

If they were suspicious before, after reading Zhang Shangde's expression, several people immediately realized that the hidden truth in this arrow book was very likely to be true.

Kanghe's face was immediately filled with murderous aura.

Questioned by everyone. Zhang Shangde also came back to his senses. He was a little hesitant when it came to the fact that he didn't see the light of his family, but he knew that he couldn't avoid it, and finally sighed: "As I expected, the letter writer is He Shixiang, the wing commander of the First Garrison Brigade and the Third Wing!" ”

"It's him!"

Several people whispered in unison.

Kang He was surprised because he knew his direct subordinate very well, so he was surprised. He instinctively felt that it was impossible, but there were Zhang Shangde's words in front of him. Kang He couldn't say anything, so he could only continue to listen patiently.

Qiu Wende and Qian Boming were simply shocked.

They thought. The most involved is a captain. Unexpectedly, the thieves could instigate and collude with a co-captain who was in charge of thousands of people. In case this person suddenly attacks, a few more henchmen and captains will follow......

Thinking of that result, everyone present gasped.

It is no wonder that the person who sent the letter from the Lin family said that the thief leader was very sure about breaking the city, and he asked them to pay attention to it. There is such a level of inner ghost. Even Qian Boming felt panicked.

Immediately, someone sighed: "This can be found in advance, it's really a blessing!" My Qianyuan Empire is really long! ”

Qian Boming also sighed, although he hadn't expressed his position yet, most of them had already believed it. However, he still looked at Zhang Shangde with his eyes. I hope he will tell the inside story and verify it.

Actually, there is nothing unusual.

That was when He Shixiang was the captain, and his sister was forcibly married as a concubine by the second son of the Zhang family when she went out on the Shangyuan Festival. Originally, after the Zhang family promised to help He Shixiang go further and gave a lot of dowry, the matter was over. But the world is unpredictable, He Shixiang's sister had a difficult birth a year later, and unfortunately died twice.

He Shixiang was already dissatisfied with the second son of the Zhang family, and heard rumors that the Zhang family had done something, so he went to the door and made a big fuss. The Zhang family died, and they were indeed a little weak-hearted, and they didn't want to make a noise, so they finally lost a sum of money to suppress the matter. It was also half a month later that He Shixiang became the wing captain of the Third Wing.

It's been a few years since this happened. After getting the position, He Shixiang never made any more trouble, and the Zhang family almost forgot about it.

I never expected it!

"He Shixiang, the dog thief, my father was really soft back then, and it wouldn't be so much trouble to kill him directly. Who would have thought that this person is well-behaved on the surface, but he has a grudge inside, and wants to collude with thieves to destroy my Zhang family......" Thinking of such a big disaster in Wu'an City, Zhang Shangde felt cold and urged repeatedly: "Please give an order to the governor to quickly arrest this wolf-hearted traitor, so as not to change later." ”

"Wait!"

At the critical moment, Kang He couldn't help but stand up.

It is a bit reckless to take out a wing captain rashly based on a single word of the letter. Moreover, Kang He and He Shixiang have known each other for so many years, but they really don't see that the other party has that kind of scheming person. After hesitating for a moment, Kang Heti said: "What Shixiang's file should be in the governor's palace, whether this letter is written by him or not, you can tell by comparing the handwriting." Also, even a few of his own soldiers and henchmen around him were checked! ”

"It's fine."

Qian Boming suppressed his anger and nodded in agreement.

It is impossible to be too cautious when it comes to such a big event. Moreover, if there is no ironclad evidence, the other party will not admit it if He Shixiang is arrested, after all, there is no signature on the arrow book. (To be continued......)
