Chapter Twenty-Three: Yuantai Meticulous Works
The notice on the side of the city gate also reads: If you can provide clues to the thieves, you will be rewarded for helping to arrest the thieves.
Of course, if you can attract the thieves and accomplices to come and catch them all, it will be a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.
Zhen Zhen learned the whole story from Haoxing the next day.
She asked to herself, "How can so many living people come and go without a trace?"
In ancient societies, due to the limitations of transportation, the range of activities of individuals was very small, and it is estimated that the range of activities of most people in their lifetime was only 20 kilometers. This is where the acquaintance society comes from. The appearance of a dozen or twenty strange beggars in any village is impossible not to attract attention.
Haoxing nodded and said, "This is indeed a problem. You might as well take a guess. ”
Zhen Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "They didn't disappear out of thin air, they just became unnoticeable. They certainly don't usually show themselves as beggars. It's only on the day of Qingming Festival or other necessary times that he dresses up as a beggar. Because when they go out, ordinary people will not come to the lake where the officials gather. They had to disguise themselves as beggars to get close to and observe the officials. ”
Haoxing smiled approvingly: "Well said! Go on! ”
Zhen Zhen thought for a while and said: "When Zhen An and the three of them followed, they went in different directions, but they all arrived at the woods outside Zhaojiazhuang, which means that this forest should be a gathering place for them. Perhaps on the morning of the Qingming Festival, before they walked into the woods, they were porters, merchants, and walkers, and they were unnoticeable pedestrians. They received assignments in the woods, changed their clothes and became beggars. In the evening, they completed their mission and returned to the woods to change back into their original attire and return to their lodgings. Unexpectedly, he found that he was followed by Zhen An and them. And so they were revealed. I think if you do a good job in the woods outside Zhaojiazhuang, you will definitely get a harvest. ”
Haoxing said: "You seem to have seen it." Indeed it is. When the sergeant of Jingzhao Yin Yamen came, he searched the woods for the things you mentioned---- clothes, flat poles, backpacks, and the like. Jing Zhaoyin has passed down to find the recently disappeared porters, merchants, and short-term workers. Maybe there will be news in the near future. Sister, you say, is it possible that someone from Ji or Li is to blame Yuantai? ”
Zhen Zhen shook his head and said, "Impossible." Zhen An: They were not deliberately ambushed by the enemy. Brother, you are also a sword-wielder. When you find a strong enemy, you will immediately choose your most advantageous weapon against the enemy. Moreover, there must be other gathering places for these Yuantai people. There are definitely more than a few people. ”
Haoxing nodded in agreement with her point of view, and asked again: "This crooked beating is hurting a lot of them, I don't know if they will restrain a little, or will they retaliate crazy?"
Zhen Zhen said: "Then it depends on what they want to do." If their goal has not been achieved, then even if they lose their troops now, they will not be allowed to risk exposing themselves. But if they are exhausted, it is possible to give it a go if they want to fight hard. Yuantai, what will be their purpose? ”
"This is something that needs to be figured out right now," Haoxing said.
Zhen Zhen jokingly said, "You're going?"
Hao Xing didn't answer, he didn't plan to tell the task given to him by Han Zhao to a third person.
When he was at home, he enjoyed chatting with this sister more and more.
Han Zhao's vision is really good, and he can see that his sister is a good helper. If you can bring her with you, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. It's just that the journey here is unpredictable, so how can you take her on an adventure?
Not far from Zhaojiazhuang, about three miles, there is a "come again" inn, the inn has two rows of rooms.
No one noticed, and the back row of rooms only caters to a few "special" guests.
When Haoxing and Hanzhao discussed countermeasures, the inn closed its door. In the widest room in the backyard, there was a man of about thirty sitting in the center, it was a beggar that Zhen Zhen had seen on the horse on the day of Qingming, he had changed into a cotton robe, like the shopkeeper of an inn. There were two people standing on his left and right, and there was one kneeling on the ground, the one who was frightened by Zhen An's bamboo and turned around and ran.
The man in the robe had a tough and resolute face, with an aura of not being angry and arrogant, and said to the person kneeling on the ground: "Yesterday, I just came back first, why did there be such a big mess?" Say, what's going on? ”
The man said: "Yesterday, when the two of us were squatting there to inquire about the news, a member of the family of the Guozi priest Jiu Zhen Cheng suddenly ran over and stuffed us two nest heads. I also asked where I came from and what kind of disaster had befallen my family. We both said thank you, and we didn't dare to say anything else. Later, the family followed a son to the prince's camp by the lake. We followed us to the place where our soldiers were guarding, and we couldn't go any further. ”
"In addition to the Guozi priest's wine, who else is there next to it?" The man in the robe interrupted the man.
"One is a bachelor of Hanlin, and the other is Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Rites. I know it all by listening to the chatter of the grooms. ”
"Well, go on." The man in the robe was silent.
"When the sun turned west, there were fewer and fewer people by the lake, and we retreated. There were a lot of people on the road at first, and we didn't find anyone following them. When we arrived near Zhaojiazhuang, we suddenly heard someone blowing a police whistle, and we found out that we were being followed. There are three people in total, and they are the guards of the Prince's Mansion in their attire. Martial arts are very strong. I almost couldn't escape, and in order to get me out of danger and come back to report the news, Boss He was stabbed in the bamboo shed. "The man who knelt on the ground began to put gold on his face, making up nonsense, and there was no proof of death anyway. He didn't dare to say that he was scared away by the bamboo from the man who gave him the nest.
"Humph! Ten people fight three, but they can't beat it! They are the prince's guards, and you are also the royal guards! But nine of you died, and one of them escaped! You still have the face to come back to me! The robed man spoke softly with a sneer on his face.
The one kneeling on the ground was already so frightened that his urine came out, and he hurriedly said nothing: "The second prince spares his life!" Second Prince! The villain has always been loyal to Yuantai, and there is no second heart! The villain swears to die for the second prince! ”
The man in the robe is Sheng Liantu, the second prince of Yuantai. was broken by a subordinate, and he was immediately furious, and kicked on the man's heart: "You are looking for death!" The man spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Sheng Liantu said to the people around him: "Give me a good look at him, don't let him die." Let him take you to the Zhen family, the Hanlin Bachelor's house, and the Langzhong family of the Ministry of Rites to recognize the door. Look at what these civil servants are all about. It's better to figure out how they suspect us. If this problem is not solved, you will not be able to pretend to be a beggar in the future. You go to the Prince's Mansion again. It is said that the prince said that he was sick and did not see guests. This person who didn't see the guest broke nine of me as soon as he made a move, and if he could see the guest in the future, he might make some new tricks. We can't be so passive. Since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust. ”
These last words are gritted teeth.
