Chapter 191: Encirclement and Suppression
Around the prison of the Criminal Department, a steady stream of officers and soldiers lit torches, pouring out from all directions like fire dragons, and gathered towards the alley.
The shouts of slaughter, which had just been loud and earth-shattering, had gradually weakened, meaning that the battle was nearing its end.
King Yu and Lu Hua silently watched the battle behind three rows of heavily armed sword and shield hands.
"When is the prince going to invite the army?"
Lu Hua couldn't help it, frowned and asked.
King Yu shook his head and did not ask for an order, it was Xu Rui who went to find Xiao Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and this king was the guarantee, so he borrowed three battalions of soldiers and horses from the Northern Wuwei.
"Hu Lai, ......"
Lu Hua smiled bitterly: "Does the prince know that it is a serious crime to transfer troops and horses without permission, if this attack fails to complete the battle, what will be the consequences?" ”
King Yu nodded: "Of course I know, those who transfer more than 500 soldiers without permission are considered to be conspiracy, and the lightest is to seize the knight and be banned!" Not only me, but all the generals who participated in this matter must lose their heads, including Xiao Jinwu, the secretary of the military department! ”
Lu Hua sighed: "The prince is too anxious, even if he has won the chaotic party, but as long as the case of exterminating the door is not solved, we still have no evidence, as long as someone writes to impeach, you will be in danger." ”
Saying that, Lu Hua shook his head: "That's it, since this matter is a foregone conclusion, the old man will immediately enter the palace now, tell the saint that everything is done by the old man, and the wrath of thunder will fall on the old man alone, as long as the prince does not fall, there is still a possibility that this case will be revealed." ”
King Yu looked at this old man in amazement, and saw that he was so anxious and sincere, and his heart suddenly became grateful.
Lu Hua seemed to see his state of mind, and sighed: "The old man is old, and he is not from a criminal case, so he was reluctant to point fingers in the criminal department, but after this case, not only did he do nothing, but he became a burden.
That's okay, at least the old man has also contributed to this case, and he can use this crippled body to destroy a catastrophe in my northern court, even if he dies, he will die as he deserves. ”
King Yu shook his head and was about to explain, when the soldiers who were blocking in front of the two suddenly separated to both sides, making way for a passage, and Xiao Jinwu, who was full of murderous energy, walked in with a dragon pattern sword and a tiger.
"I've seen the prince, Lord Lu!"
Xiao Jinwu hugged his fists and saluted when he saw the two.
King Yu and Lu Hua also hurriedly returned the salute.
"Lord Xiao can capture the bandit leader?"
Yuwang asked eagerly.
Xiao Jinwu shook his head with a smile: "I deliberately opened an opening and let go of the pair of men and women led by me, and the remaining one hundred and sixty-two bandits were all ambushed!" ”
Lu Hua was stunned: "Why did the adults let go of the two bandit leaders alone?" ”
Xiao Jinwu and King Yu glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Xu Rui's kid said that 'the siege of the master will be que', if you don't let them go, how can you wipe out the remaining bandits?"
The two of them rest assured, Li Kuang, the brocade guard, has already led people to follow, and the ambush along the way has already been set up, Li Kuang will leave a mark along the way, and the army will follow, and when he finds the hiding place of the remnants of the bandits, it is not too late to close the net immediately! ”
"Li Kuang? Is that the brocade guard who came back from the Jingyang battlefield? ”
Yuwang asked.
Xiao Jinwu nodded: "It's him, except for the family teacher, no one in the Northern Dynasty can beat the light skills, and the pair of mandarin duck bandits will definitely not be able to escape." ”
Speaking of this, the two of them only felt that the victory was in hand, and they were immediately overjoyed.
Lu Hua understood a general idea, but he was not as optimistic as the two of them, but said worriedly: "Two adults, although the bandits have been taken down at the moment, the case of exterminating the door has not been solved, and the situation is still unfavorable to me, so I can't be careless." ”
"Report!!"
As soon as the words fell, a scout from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies rushed to the three of them with a shout, bowing his head.
He held up a signed file above his head with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Xu has thoroughly solved the Tang Jiuguang Door Destruction Case, the Treasury Corruption Case, the Smuggling Case for Many Years, the Wan Guilong Murder Case, and the Serial Assassination Case of the Three Household Members, and is now leading people to encircle and suppress the bandit leader, and the horse is Wei Yue Shang!" ”
"Good!"
Hearing this, King Yu and Xiao Jinwu spoke in unison and applauded.
Lu Hua's pupils shrank, grabbed the scout, and said in shock, "What did you say?" Say it again! ”
The scout hurriedly repeated what he had just said, and Lu Hua let go of his collar and muttered to himself in shock: "The case is solved?" The case is solved? How so? I don't have a clue at all, why did it suddenly break?! ”
King Yu took the file from the scout's hand, glanced at it cursoryly and handed it to Lu Hua, and said with a smile: "Boss, who said we don't have a clue at all?"
In fact, Xu Rui had already seen through the key, just to get rid of the mastermind behind the scenes with lightning speed, so he kept it a secret, this dossier is clearly written, you can see it at a glance. ”
"What? Is this really the case? ”
Lu Hua took the file in disbelief, and what was written on the file was the process of Xu Rui's capture of Liu Haofei, as well as Xu Rui's reasoning of the case and related evidence, which was very detailed.
He just read a few lines and immediately widened his eyes, and finally waited for him to finish reading them all, and grabbed King Yu and said, "No, the above is not complete, the prince still has something to hide from me." ”
King Yu seemed to know that Lu Hua would ask this question, and explained the ins and outs to him with a smile.
It turned out that as early as the beginning of the investigation, King Yu realized that this case was by no means simply trying to cause a duel between the prince and the king of Liao, and the matter had reached such a point, if he could not quickly investigate the case, or leave one or two flaws, the mastermind behind the scenes would use the case to bring him down.
Therefore, what the other party wants is not to kill two birds with one stone, but to kill three birds with one stone, and use this series of strange cases to destroy three princes at the same time.
Yuwang, who found that something was wrong, found Xu Rui to talk secretly overnight, and the two discussed the case and the current situation openly and honestly that night, and Xu Rui also basically locked Liu Haofei's identity as a traitor, temporarily ruling out suspicion of Yuwang.
Xu Rui pointed out that the current case is full of complexities, if you want to cut in from one point, the other party will inevitably make more crazy moves to disrupt the sight, and in the end the result can only be that the more clues are investigated, the more unclear the case is.
So the two secretly set up this trick to "lure the snake out of the hole", the purpose is to let the other party throw themselves into the net, completely disrupt the opponent's arrangement, and quickly cut through the chaos.
Lu Hua listened carefully to all the inside information without saying a word, first bowed deeply to King Yu, and then sighed long: "The prince and Lord Xu have found another way, and they are unstoppable. ”
As he spoke, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that the old man is really old, not only did he have a mole under his subordinates, but he didn't help the two at all, ashamed, ashamed." ”
Xiao Jinwu saw that Lu Hua was not saying polite words, but was really a little disheartened, and hurriedly persuaded: "What did the old man say?" Without you, how could the bandits be so obediently baited? ”
King Yu also smiled and said: "The boss doesn't have to be arrogant, you are the backbone of the Criminal Department, if it weren't for your hard work over the years, the Criminal Department would have been rotten long ago, how could there be only one Liu Haofei?" ”
It's okay if the two don't say it, but when they talk about it, this stubborn old man shook his head and sighed, saying that he was ashamed.
Seeing that he already had a knot in his heart, Xiao Jinwu was afraid that no matter how much he thought about it, he wouldn't say much.
King Yu changed his words, changed his tone and said: "Now that the facts of the case are clear, I can return to my father when the bandits' nest is completely destroyed, and I ask Xiao Shangshu to help more." ”
Xiao Jinwu nodded and said: "Don't worry, with this file, the headquarters can immediately mobilize a guard and horse, and don't even think about escaping a single fly." ”
On the other side, Lu Kang and Ning Xianru fought desperately to get out of the encirclement and fled to the nearest secret hall, but most of the hall had already been cracked by Li Kuang, and at this time, there was no living person in it except Jinyiwei.
In desperation, the two had no choice but to flee to the last central sanctuary.
The so-called Central Church is the most secret place of their organization in Changxing City, and it is also the foundation of the organization, which cannot be used unless it is life and death, and it has not yet been cracked by the Jinyi Guard.
It's just that neither of them noticed in a hurry, and a flickering figure was following them from a distance.
