356 Catching turtles in urns 2.0
The town where the post house is located, because it is close to Linhuang Mansion, most of the merchants who come and go from the south to the north will choose to live here, so it is also very lively, and it is not lost to the city at all.
Shen Cha and Jin Jing finished making a plan, seeing that it was still early, and they didn't have anything important to do, they decided to go out for a walk together, so they came to the capital of Liao, and they always had to buy some special products to bring back.
Mei Lin, Mei Zhu, Ying Qi, and Ying Eight stayed in the post house, and Shen Cha and Jin Jing took An Ming, Li Jun, and Dai Yi out of the house.
When he received the order, Dai Yi looked confused, he never thought that such a good thing would fall on his head, he pointed to himself and said, "Me? ”
"How?" Jin Jing raised an eyebrow and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't want to go out with us?" ”
"Yes!"
"Let's go!"
"Yes!"
Seeing Dai Yi almost jumping up with joy, Jin Jing shook her head helplessly, beckoned them, and went out with Shen Cha.
As soon as they walked out of the door of the inn, they found that the familiar, watchful feeling of being watched along the way had returned.
Several people exchanged a hidden look, as if they hadn't found anything, they still went for a walk.
"It seems that we have received accurate instructions, we must look good tonight, this is not to kill us and we will not give up!" Jin Jing lowered her voice and said to Shen Cha, "I don't know why they are so persistent, what is the benefit of doing this for them." ”
"Nature is good." Shen Cha's face was expressionless, and his gaze swept over the stalls on the street one by one, "Kill us, Your Majesty and brother will be furious and will avenge us, and their anger needs someone to bear it, this unlucky guy...... It goes without saying that of course, it is the Yelu family headed by Yeluertu. ”
"If they can't find the murderer and cause a dispute between the two countries, they will have the excuse of the incompetence of the Yelu family and kick Yeruertu off the throne." Jin Jing gently hooked the corners of her lips, "The plan is good, but the implementation is too easy to expose, and it is obvious that this person behind the scenes is not very good at this kind of plan." ”
"If you were good at it, you wouldn't have been suppressed by the Yelu family for so many years and couldn't raise your head." Shen Cha patted Jin Jing's arm, walked to a stall, and pointed to a lively little tiger sculpture on the stall, "Isn't it interesting?" She looked up at the stall owner, "Boss, how much is this?" ”
"Five pennies." The stall owner looked at Shen Cha, then at Jin Jing, and then at the three guards behind them, "A few guest officers aren't locals, right?" Listening to the accent, it's from Great Xia, right? ”
"The boss isn't a local either, is he? You look like you're from Jiangnan. Jin Jing took out a small piece of broken silver from the money bag and threw it to the stall owner, "These tigers are all wanted, wrap them up for us." ”
"The guest officer's eyes are really poisonous, and the villain is indeed from Jiangnan. It's just that I have been doing business in Liao for five or six years, and I often went back to my hometown before, but I have rarely gone back when I am old in the past two years. The stall owner collected the money, wrapped the little tiger sculptures on the stall with his hands and feet, put them into a basket woven of bamboo, handed them over, and took the opportunity to lower his voice and said, "Childe told the general, everything is ready, please rest assured!" ”
"Thank you!"
Shen Cha turned around and glanced at Dai Yi, who ran up and took the basket from the stall owner.
They walked all the way and bought all the way, most of them were some inconspicuous small ornaments, and some handmade products with Liao characteristics.
"General Shen and Jin Junshi, the two of you are back!" Yi Cheng stood at the door of the post house and waited for them, and when he saw the group coming back, he saluted them, "Nan Gongzi sent someone to send a letter over, and he will come to pick up the two of them in person early tomorrow morning." ”
"Thanks, got it." Jin Jing smiled at Yi Cheng and stuffed him with the two packs of dim sum they had bought on the street.
Yi Cheng watched the people of Daxia walk in front of him, and then looked at the two packs of snacks in his hand, not knowing whether he should cry or laugh. He looked at it now, and Nan Gongzi hurriedly came to pick people up, lest he always have the illusion that he was being stared at by someone.
"Generals, military advisors!" Mei Lin and Mei Zhu had already made dinner, and when they saw Shen Cha and Jin Jing, they walked over, took the things in their hands, and said to An Ming, Li Jun and Dai Yi, "Your dinner has been delivered to the house, go and eat, the others have already eaten." ”
"Okay, the two sisters have worked hard!"
Seeing An Ming, Li Jun and Dai Yi leaving, Shen Cha and Jin Jing went up to the room on the second floor, and Ying Qi and Ying Eight were already waiting inside, and when they saw Mei Lin and Mei Zhu full of things in their hands, they sneered and laughed.
"Didn't you say that you went out on the streets to reconnoiter the enemy? How did you buy so many things and come back? ”
"Except for the little tiger, which was bought by your boss and given to Xiaojiu, you can share the rest of the things!" Jin Jing took off the big hat outside, washed her hands, wiped her face with a hot handkerchief, sat down at the table, and glanced at Shen Cha, who was reading a small note, "What's the news?" ”
"Wan Yanping and the people of the clan leader have been arrested five or six respectively, and the people of the two houses are now unable to spare their hands to interrogate them, but...... As we guessed, no matter who was arrested, whether they confessed or not, it was impossible for these two groups of people to return to Yiqing Mansion alive. ”
Shen Cha tore up the small note after reading it, threw it into the charcoal basin that burned very strongly, asked Merlin to take the pen and paper, wrote two sentences on the paper, dried the ink on it, rolled the note, put it in a small bamboo tube, handed it to Mei Zhu, asked her to wait for dark, and handed it to a boy who was selling fried glutinous rice cakes with a flat pole at the door of the post house.
"Eh, if you want me to say, this Yelu Gongzi is too cautious and cautious, knowing that you are coming, and sending such a person to wait for you, but his skills are good, and the little tiger is decent." Jin Jing picked up a roast lamb chop and took a bite, "He asked you for a plan?" ”
"No, he has his own ideas, just ask me if it's appropriate for him to do that, and if he will get into trouble. After all, we are a cooperative relationship, and if he gets into trouble, it may affect us. Shen Cha asked Mei Lin, Mei Zhu, Ying Qi, and Ying Eight to sit down to eat, picked up the pimple soup by himself, and took a sip, "What he meant, the trial must be tried, but they will be released after the trial." This is a critical period, and we cannot put it into practice. ”
"......" Jin Jing threw the gnawed clean bone on the table, and picked up another one, "That guy is pure on the outside, but it's dark on the inside." ”
"Brother Xiaojing, can you think of what he does, isn't it as dark as him?"
Seeing Jin Jing glaring at him, Shen Cha smiled, drank the soup in the bowl, felt full after eating two mouthfuls of food, wiped his mouth with the handkerchief placed next to him, leaned on the pillow, looked ahead, and thought about his own thoughts.
"Alright, clean up!" Jin Jing ate all the plates of roast lamb chops, and drank two large bowls of gnocchi soup, finally filling his stomach, he stood up, and while walking around the house to eat, he said, "However, what does he mean when he says that everything is ready to reassure you?" ”
"We're laying nets inside, they're in charge of the periphery, and they can make sure that we don't let any of them go...... Thieves. Shen Cha rubbed his forehead and looked at the few people who had finished cleaning up, "While those people haven't started to act yet, you all go back and rest first." Merlin finished delivering the message, and also squinted a little for a while to recuperate. After arresting someone, he will be interrogated overnight, and tomorrow when Nan Gongzi comes, he will hand over the person to him. ”
"Yes, General!"
Shen Cha and Jin Jing chatted for a while, looked at the sky, it was almost a little bit, and they went separately to prepare.
When it was time for the shift, the whole post house slowly quieted down, and everyone fell asleep.
After almost a cup of tea, more than a dozen black shadows quietly sneaked into the post house, stood in the courtyard and gestured to each other, leaving three people to guard the door of the post house, and the others all rushed to the backyard.
Coming to the backyard, by the light of the moon, the dark shadows looked at the two-story building, they gestured and discussed, leaving five or six people in the courtyard on the first floor, and the rest quietly climbed up to the second floor.
The two rooms in the middle of the second floor, one is Jin Jing's and the other is Shen Cha's, they discussed it and decided to solve Shen Cha's big problem first. If Shen Cha died, the people of Great Xia would have no backbone, and they would naturally become a mess.
After making a decision, one of the black shadows stood up and walked to Shen Cha's door, gently stabbed the door open, carefully pushed the door open, and several people crept in.
They stood at the doorway, and did not rush into the house, but carefully surveyed the whole room, and in the light of the moon, they saw that there seemed to be a person lying on the bed. Even if they see people with their own eyes, they are afraid of being deceived, and if they are ambushed, they will lose all their efforts. So, they stood where they were, listened intently, and after making sure that there was indeed a slight and steady breathing sound in the room, they nodded to each other and continued to walk on, and walked smoothly to the bedside.
Standing on the edge of the bed, they saw the person who was sleeping soundly with their backs to them wrapped in a thick quilt and looked at each other with a contemptuous smile.
This legendary iron-blooded female general is nothing more than that, what kind of black heart is ruthless, what wisdom is close to the demon, it is all blown out by others. Maybe she is indeed brave, but her scheming is not as powerful as the legend says. Otherwise, why don't you have the slightest sense of defense!
Several people stood in front of the bed for a while, and found that the person on the bed did not mean to wake up, so they finally breathed a sigh of relief, gestured to each other, and at the same time drew their waist knives and slashed towards the bed.
Just as their knives were about to fall, eight hemp ropes were thrown out of all corners of the house, and not only removed the knives from their hands, but also knocked them to the ground.
"Hit the mark!"
At the moment when the assassins fell to the ground, the whole room was as bright as day, and the bright candlelight pierced their eyes, and for a moment their eyes were black, and they could not see anything.
