Chapter 15 Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
Things are getting more and more complicated, what do these Huns want to do in Danyang County?
Could it be that there is a treasure buried in the ditch?
Cheng Liu couldn't figure it out, if it was just to destroy these projects, there was no need to go to such great lengths, just break them at night, why waste so much time, lurking and killing?
After thinking about it for a long time, he came to the conclusion that they were waiting, not knowing if they were waiting for an opportunity or someone.
Chundie may have been shivering from the cold, so Cheng Liu had to send him back first.
After arriving in the house, he sent someone to dispose of the body, and then arranged for the servant to check the cause of death, and these results may not be sent to the house until tomorrow morning.
Cheng Liu soaked in the water all night, tired, and was about to lie on the bed when sweet potatoes suddenly knocked on the door.
"Childe, I'll boil you some ginger soup, you can drink it and then go to sleep."
Cheng Liu had no choice but to get up again and light the light before opening the door.
The ginger soup boiled with sweet potatoes tasted very strong, and Cheng Liu only felt that he was on fire after drinking it.
"You go to sleep first, it's going to be busy starting tomorrow."
Sweet Potato knew what he was referring to, nodded slightly, and left the room.
Cheng Liu was lying on the bed, his mind full of the backs of the Huns.
……
The next morning.
After the sweet potato brought the washing water, he went to get the official document he had made, and after Cheng Liu got it done, the sweet potato also came back.
Cheng Liu took a look at it, the content was very detailed, but the focus was on the time of death and the real cause of death.
The stab wound on this man's heart pierced directly through the heart, and if it weren't for an autopsy, I am afraid it would not have been visible.
"This person's martial arts are very high, looking at the amount of bleeding at that time, even if it was washed by the rain, it would also leave some traces on the grass, but I looked carefully yesterday, and there were very few blood stains on it."
However, at this time, he still had a question, since it was a one-hit kill, why was there a wound on the top of his head?
Sweet potato subconsciously replied: "Childe, what if that person didn't die under the ditch, but was knocked on the head from somewhere else, and then crawled to that vicinity, only to be found and stabbed again?" ”
"Clever!"
Cheng Liu's mind was open, and he continued: "So this deceased must be related to the pawnshop, and he may have been followed after he came out of the pawnshop that day." You find someone to get the shopkeeper of the pawnshop! ”
The sweet potato immediately ran out, while Cheng Liu went to find Chundie.
She had just gotten up, and her complexion was not very good, and Cheng Liu came to her to verify her conjecture.
"When you went to the pawnshop yesterday, how many people did you see going in?"
"Hui Gongzi, when the slave maid saw it, there were only two people, but after dark, the lamp was lit inside, and the slave and maid vaguely saw the figures of three or four people, who seemed to be talking."
"And when you saw the body, was it before or behind it?"
"At that time, Sister Sweet Potato asked me to follow them, but in the blink of an eye they were gone, and the slave and maid hurriedly chased them in the direction they disappeared, and later saw them on the bridge, and the slave and maid also hurriedly followed, and it was at that time that I found that there was a person lying there under the bridge, but the distance was a little far away, and the slave and maid had no way to determine whether he was dead, so they ignored ......"
This is normal, Cheng Liu took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Where is the other corpse?" ”
"It's in another ditch, it should be the ditch that connects Shifang Street and Sifang Street to the north, and the slave also told Sister Sweet Potato when she came back."
However, in the autopsy report, the body on the other side was frozen to death because there were no obvious external injuries on the body.
Cheng Liu thought about it, but still said: "Okay, I will do this matter myself, you can rest first, if you still think of something, tell me when the time comes." ”
Chundie nodded slightly, because of her complexion, the whole person looked very unenergetic.
As soon as I walked out of the inner courtyard, I saw Qiuhong when I walked towards me.
Qiu Hong was still holding a bamboo tube in her hand, and directly took out the information that was sent back from the fast horse.
"The war on Commander Dian Wei's side is tight, and the soldiers and horses that originally went out of the city suddenly turned back, and now Commander Dian Wei is caught in the scene of being surrounded by the left and right."
Cheng Liu was suddenly a little surprised.
"Didn't our scouts reciprocate?"
"Time is too tight, and Commander Dian Wei is bent on taking Stone City, so he doesn't have to worry so much......"
Cheng Liu sighed slightly, and asked him to call Xu Zuo first.
"Master, you should know the situation of Lao Dian now, right?"
"I just received the news from Wen Liang, and according to the current situation, it can last another hour at most."
Cheng Liu replied directly: "An hour is the most, they rushed overnight, at this time they are already exhausted, we have to hurry to support, it will be useless if we go late." ”
Unexpectedly, Xu Zuoyi stopped him, and opened his mouth to stop talking.
"Speak up if you have something to say!"
"Commander Dian Wei said before leaving that he can only take so many people out in this battle, because there are not many garrisons in Danyang County, and the elite are in his hands.
Cheng Liu reacted suddenly, the Huns were still eyeing each other, if they took the people away, they didn't know what else would cause trouble.
At this time, he suddenly realized that the old canon was trapped, could it be related to the Huns?
In order to lure them out, it must be impossible to use a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain.
"So what do you mean now?"
"Send troops from Danyang."
Cheng Liu refused without even thinking about it.
"Danyang is already empty to defend the city now, if we transfer people to leave, our geographical location will be completely exposed in front of their eyes, if Danyang is taken advantage of, the entire central area of Danyang County is a mess of mud, and it is almost impossible for us to get it back later!"
Danyang and Wanling are not the same, the terrain there is not a natural danger, and there is no easy to defend and difficult to attack, the key is to connect so many important hubs, if there is no there, then Cheng Liu can expect the situation of the entire Danyang County in the future.
Xu Zuo was also a little helpless.
"Then according to the meaning of the big official, do you still want to rescue Commander Dian Wei by yourself?"
Cheng Liu suddenly calmed down and shook his head.
"Not necessarily, how far has it been since Jianye?"
Xu Zuo calculated for a moment and replied: "Roughly estimated, it will take about an hour." ”
"The flying pigeon sent a message to them, telling them to send half of the cavalry out to support the flanks. In exchange, the taxes of the entire Jianye were reduced by half, and the subsequent agricultural and commercial measures began in Jianye. ”
Xu Zuo immediately walked out on crutches, this Jianye is not far from here, and the flying pigeon only needs a cup of tea, and the time is completely enough.
