Chapter 166: Trapped
Xiao Meng stood aside with Wang Cheng and asked, "Can you send someone to monitor them now?" ”
On the seventh day of Zhang Youtao's escape, their portraits had already reached various cities, and all major cities were carefully guarded. And Wang Cheng happens to be one of the cities of Quanzhou.
Wang Cheng was happy in his heart, "Hui Yu general, he didn't send anyone to guard it, but they couldn't escape in this city." ”
Having said that, Xiao Meng didn't like this kind of attitude, and no one was absolutely sure until the end. Especially after this experience, Xiao Meng's temperament is more calm.
But in the end, it was not his soldiers, so although he was displeased, he didn't blame him in the end, "Advanced City." ”
Zhang Youtao and his party, who didn't know anything about all this, were eating delicious roast chicken at the moment, knowing that this trip might fall short, but they were not in a hurry.
Backyard.
Jiang Yiling watched Zhang Youtao help the old woman clean up the dishes and chopsticks and enter the kitchen before speaking, "Does Mr. have a plan?" ”
There were only four of them who escaped this time, so there was no need to think about reinforcements, it was impossible.
Lin Mu thought of what he had agreed with Zhang Youtao, his eyes flashed slightly, "No! ”
Jiang Yiling twisted his eyebrows, although he knew that the current situation was not optimistic, his heart sank a little when he heard the answer.
"With all due respect, there is no chance of winning in this situation now, and Your Highness still has a plan early."
No matter how many people there are on the other side, there are only four of them anyway, one is full of intrigue but can't hide the fact that he is powerless, and the other is full of medical skills, he can save people in distress but still can't do martial arts. Counting horizontally and vertically, there are only two people who can resist.
Just thinking of this, Jiang Yiling felt a headache. Although he is good at the art of war, there are too few 'soldiers' that can be used now, and he can't use them at all.
As long as the other party finds this place and surrounds it, they don't even have the strength to resist.
Jiang Yiling couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to, and turned around and went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, there is a lot of harmony.
The old woman hadn't had such a hearty conversation with someone for too many years, and she laughed.
"Grandma, do you know where the mountain in the backyard leads?" Zhang Youtao had no intention of asking.
Bang dang!
Zhang Youtao was startled, turned her head and saw the old woman drop the tile cover, and immediately sighed, "Be careful, I'll come!" ”
She can't stay here forever, and what will the old woman do in the future if she leaves.
The old woman touched the stove and got up, "It's okay, I'm old and my legs are inconvenient, and this kind of thing often happens." ”
Jiang Yiling, who happened to walk outside, stopped, he looked at the mountain in front of him suspiciously, half of it was submerged into the clouds, and he didn't see it very really.
Although Zhang Youtao didn't suspect it, he always felt that the old woman knocked down the tile cover when she was in a panic when she heard about the mountain behind her, whether it was to distract attention or not, anyway, this mountain aroused Jiang Yiling's suspicions.
When Xiliang came back from hunting, Jiang Yiling asked a few questions.
But Xiliang was just hunting prey at the bottom of the mountain, and he didn't go into the mountains, so he didn't know about it accidentally.
"You'll check it out tomorrow."
Xiliang half-hung his head and acquiesced.
It's a hard time like this, whether they're found out or not, but as long as they stay here, they're doomed to be caught.
The streets of Quanzhou City are not as prosperous as the capital, but there is also a different flavor, and this city is not big, if you search door to door, but you can search it in two days.
However, there are many people here, so the streets are very crowded, and it is difficult to be spotted if you dress up a little and blend in with the crowd.
Jiang Yiling and Lin Mu changed their clothes and blended in the crowd, and soldiers stood on both sides of the street, and they had already occupied the streets of Quanzhou City, making the surrounding people panic.
"At a cursory glance, there are about 20,000 people." Lin Mu whispered.
Jiang Yiling's dark eyes were a little more solemn, "Go back first." ”
The two walked with the flow of people, trying to make themselves look like most.
At this time, the county government was in a mess, the county magistrate's surname was Li, and he became the magistrate of the county by relying on his father-in-law's relationship, and he did nothing during his tenure, and he had no ambitions, except for looting the people's fat and ointment, there were no other crimes.
The main thing is that the lady he married is fierce by nature, unless he doesn't want to be this magistrate, or he doesn't dare to deviate at all.
"That's what Xiao Meng really said!" Li Zhixian trembled with anger, and his face turned red.
Wang Cheng knelt on the ground with a bitter face, "Back to Zhixian, what the villain said is true, then Xiao Meng must not look down on you, so let the deputy general directly reject the villain, and the villain has never even seen his face." ”596
Wang Wei thought that this was a beautiful difference, but after seeing Xiao Meng's uprightness and not drinking, he completely stopped thinking.
Syllable!
Li Zhixian slapped on the desk, and Zhen's palms were numb, "What a Xiao Meng, he dares to look down on this official, this time the official will not help him arrest people, let him know how powerful this official is." ”
Wang Cheng's eyes rolled, "Why don't we arrest the person, and then go to the capital, saying that this person was caught by us, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Meng." Naturally, the credit goes to the adults. ”
Li Zhixian's mind turned slightly, "Hey! Your kid's brain is spinning so fast. Since Xiao Meng was unkind, he blamed the official for his injustice, and today he sent all the people in the yamen to the official to find people from house to house. ”
Wang Cheng sneered and gestured, "Do you want to invite the brothers to drink some wine, so that things can be done neatly." ”
Li Zhixian didn't know the thoughts of these subordinates, although he was unhappy, but he also knew the truth that 'if you want the horse to run fast, you must first feed the horse'.
stuffed the silver ticket to Wang Cheng, and advised, "You can do this for the official, otherwise it will not be your turn to do this good thing in the future." ”
"That's nature." Wang Cheng nodded, and after getting the silver ticket out of the Li Mansion, the smile on his face was immediately put away, and he took a mouthful of old phlegm towards the deep mansion, his eyes were full of anger.
"With such a little money, I want to send Lao Tzu, does Lao Tzu want food?"
The yamen moved quickly, and he worked even harder knowing that it would be beneficial to catch someone. By the time Xiao Meng knew the news, he had already searched most of Quanzhou City.
He was furious, "Why didn't there be any news earlier?" ”
"Returning to the general, this matter was arranged by Li Zhixian, and we were not notified in advance, and the officials in the yamen were wearing civilian clothes, so far the soldiers have not noticed any changes."
This news gave Xiao Meng a headache, there were many reasons why he had been here for so long, but the most important reason was that the emperor had ordered that he must be brought back unscathed.
He hadn't thought about the way to search directly, but the sixth prince was witty, and he was able to escape with a little chance, and he didn't dare to take risks with the clues he finally found, but he didn't know that Li Zhixian jumped out of Li Zhixian halfway and did something stupid.
"Bring Li Zhixian!" Xiao Mengyin held back his anger.
And the news of the city-wide search was soon learned by Jiang Yiling, and Xiliang did not come back at this time, and they did not dare to act rashly.
Lin Mu pondered for a long time before he said: "This matter should not be Xiao Meng's doing, his person is thoughtful, if he wants to use this method, I am afraid that he will use it a long time ago." ”
"But apart from Xiao Meng, could it be that the emperor sent other people?" Zhang Youtao felt funny when she asked this.
I didn't expect a few of them to be so important in the emperor's heart, and they sent so many people. But I also know in my heart that the three of them together are not as important as one Jiang Yiling.
Lin Mu still shook his head, "No, there are no two masters for everything, not to mention that Xiao Meng alone is enough to deal with this matter." Today's accident is probably an official who wants to make meritorious contributions! ”
As Lin Mu speculated, the searcher disappeared with him, and everything returned to peace.
Zhang Youtao had to admit Lin Mu's intelligence, sometimes people's calculations can really kill people, and not a single soldier is wasted.
They were relieved, but in the barracks stationed in the city, inside the commander's tent. Li Zhixian was tied up like ants by soldiers and thrown on the ground, trembling with fright.
Seeing this, Xiao Meng only frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" "According to his temperament, the bastard who dares to do anything bad should have been cut down by him a long time ago, and this is not the capital, if there is a wave of unsettled, I am afraid it will not be good for the next arrest.
"Back to the general, along the way, Li Zhixian tried to escape, and even insulted us, so I had no choice but to make this decision." The soldier said it tactfully.
Although the barracks are full of rough people who fight, those who have been in this barracks for a long time will also have some crooked thoughts, knowing what to say in order to minimize the danger.
The meaning of this statement is to put it bluntly, this man is cheap, and they don't like him, so they tie him up.
Xiao Meng waved his hand, "Untie." ”
The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly untied them.
Although it was relieved, the fear in Li Zhixian's heart did not diminish at all, and when he stood there, he felt that his legs were weak, and his wrinkled face was full of bitterness.
"General Xiao, you... What did Xia Guan do wrong? Li Zhixian probably had an answer in his heart, but his intuition told him that pretending to be stupid now was the only way to retreat.
"You sent those people who went door-to-door today?" Xiao Meng had no expression on his face, and this appearance was really bluffing.
"No!" Li Zhixian denied it without thinking about it, "It's definitely not a lower official." ”
Xiao Meng couldn't wait to poke this Li Zhixian's head and scold, did he take him for a fool, or did he think that everyone in the world was a fool?
"But those people are wearing the clothes of the yamen."
"How is it possible, I didn't let them wear ......" As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Zhixian knew that he was completely finished, why didn't he know how to slow down this broken mouth! He wanted to give himself a slap in the face.
"Can Li Zhixian give me an explanation why he acted without permission, and he didn't tell me."
"Actually, it's the lower official who wants to share the general's worries, and he caught someone earlier, so the adults should be able to return to Beijing earlier, right?" Although Li Zhixian has no skills, this mouth can make him live even if he is dead.
