Chapter 258: Double Reed Play
Tong Gui was wandering around the mountains like a headless fly, and he didn't find Liang Quan's location, but he ran into the mountain bandits led by Zhang Ji, and the other party was seventy or eighty people, surrounding Tong Gui with more than a dozen people, and forcing him to ask who Tong Gui was, why he appeared near the iron mine, and knew the entrance of the iron mine.
More than a dozen brothers who followed Tong Gui from birth to death were in the hands of the other party, Tong Gui didn't dare to make a mistake, seeing that Zhang Ji was bound to have a posture on the iron mine, Tong Gui had an idea, and said in a panic that he was Liang Quan's subordinate, and the strong man who helped Liang Quan buy iron smelting could take them to the entrance of the iron mine.
In fact, where did Tong Gui know about the entrance to the iron mine?
Tong Gui took a large group of people and began to wander around the mountains again, thinking that he was either waiting for an opportunity to escape, or to capture the king first, but the other party was overwhelmed and had been suffering from no chance to get out.
It is said that no coincidence is not a book, and when Zhang Ji's patience was about to be polished and he was ready to kill Tong Gui, a small team of men and horses patrolled over.
Zhang Ji took people to hide, and when the people arrived in front of him, he found that there were only a dozen people, so he came to meet with a short soldier, as if he was capturing Tong Gui, and the people in the future were also captured.
tied Tong Gui's people to one place with the people who came, and as a result, Tong Gui saw familiar faces in the team, Li Mu and Cheng Dalang.
Zhang Ji, who was led around by Tong Gui, had long run out of patience, and ordered someone to reach out and cut Tong Gui and a dozen others, and let Li Mu take him in again.
Seeing that the knife was about to slash into his neck, Li Mu hurriedly shouted: "The leader keeps people!" This person is very important and cannot be killed! ”
Zhang Ji's eyebrows wrinkled, and he said irritably: "I haven't found the entrance for a long time, it's obviously playing Lao Tzu!" He is also Chen Feng's person? Chen Feng doesn't even care about his own son, will he care about his life or death? ”
Li Mu stood up and was about to speak, but Sun Haiying, the captain of the third team of the patrol battalion, quit and said angrily: "Li Muxiu has to talk nonsense, this person is not from Yantieyi at all!" What kind of heart are you talking nonsense?! Are you Jiang Fang and Xu Lin's people, or are you a fine work sent by Beiyu? ”
Li Mu was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his mouth, knelt on the ground again, and said in a trembling voice: "What the captain said is right, I don't know this person, and it doesn't matter to Chen Tiecheng at all!" There is no code word for the armory......."
Sun Haiying was so angry that her nose was crooked, and she scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about, a turtle son? We're just patrolling the perimeter, and we don't even know where the molten iron furnace is, so how can we know where the armory is? See if I don't tear your mouth apart!! ”
Sun Haiying said that she would move, and stretched out her hands to pinch Li Mu's neck, looking at the degree of force, the green tendons on Li Mu's face burst out, which shows the degree of grief and indignation.
Li Mu used all his strength to push Sun Haiying away, jumped and hid behind Zhang Ji, and choked Sun Haiying back: "You are the captain, follow the surname Chen to eat and drink spicy, what do I dare not say as a newly bought minion!" He is Chen Tiecheng's brother-in-law, and he doesn't know who knows!! ”
Sun Haiying glared at Li Mu angrily and said: "You are talking nonsense, my little uncle is in the mine, and he doesn't come out once in ten and a half days and two months, how can he walk around the side of the mountain in tattered clothes?!" ”
Zhang Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Li Mu suspiciously, Li Mu blinked, and looked at Tong Gui suspiciously, and stammered a little: "Yes, the little uncle doesn't go out of the mountain easily, why do you want to go out of the mountain this time?" Why, little uncle? ”
Tong Gui understood in his heart, and shook his hand busily: "I'm not some bullshit uncle, I am, just an ordinary Orion, yes, an ordinary Orion." I don't know what code words or keys, and I don't know Ziyang...... I don't know that Chen Tiecheng's son has been arrested, let me go......"
The "Ziyang" blurted out by a "accident" suddenly confirmed that Tong Gui was the brother-in-law of Chen Feng of Yantiecheng, that is, Chen Ziyang's uncle, as for Sun Haiying's proposal of "The little uncle did not go out of the mine for ten and a half days and two months, and now he is wandering around the mountain in tatters", it is natural that he came out to find his "nephew" Chen Ziyang.
The reason why Zhang Ji was so anxious to find the entrance to the iron ore was entirely because they had been forced into a corner of the mountains by the imperial court, and even the basic food and drink had to be maintained by hunting, in other words, if they didn't hunt prey, the seventy or eighty people would have to drink the northwest wind.
The third, fourth, and fifth sworn children were arrested and killed one after another, not to mention how big the bottom fire in Zhang Ji's heart was. Thinking of capturing Chen Feng's son and exchanging weapons and food, Zhang Ji only knew that the ancients had a saying called "Tiger poison does not eat children", and obviously forgot that there is another sentence called "no poison and no husband".
No matter how sorry Chen Feng felt for his son, no matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to exchange weapons for Chen Ziyang's life.
Because in the entire Great Qi country, from the highest salt and iron division to the local salt and iron kings, almost every official knows that the imperial court can turn a blind eye to the number of iron stones, and let the salt and iron officials fish for oil and water and live a comfortable life;
But weapons are a taboo for Yan Tiecheng, and they are the bottom line for them as officials, not how loyal they are, but that this crime is too heavy.
Whether it is a knife or sword for the private manufacture or sale of weapons, it is a crime of treason without trial, and the light one is the three tribes, and the heavy one is the ten tribes, and the three tribes are oneself, the mother and the father; The Zhu Shi clan is all the people who scrape with him, including friends, classmates and even leaders, have to sit together, this risk, Chen Feng does not dare to take it, and he can't afford to take it.
On the one hand, a reward of 1,000 taels was offered outside to catch the bandit Shou Zhang Ji, and on the other hand, he deceived his wife Chen and concubine Liu, saying that the bandit leader was blackmailing him with 500 taels of silver, which was just a temporary means to coax his family.
Therefore, in Chen Feng's heart, he was already sure that he had annoyed the bandit leader Zhang Ji and killed his son Chen Ziyang a long time ago.
As soon as the bounty came out, Chen Feng dragged it out again and again, and suddenly there were many unknown people on the mountain who were pretending to be hunters or businessmen, Zhang Ji knew that Chen Feng wanted to catch turtles in an urn and trap himself in the mountains, or simply let the people who pursued the reward come to chase and kill him, and died of exhaustion in the mountains that stretched for hundreds of miles.
Chen Feng has Zhang Liangji, Zhang Ji has a wall ladder, Chen Feng doesn't take a weapon, he directly finds an iron mine in this mountain, and he takes it without asking.
It's a pity that after looking for many days, they just couldn't enter, so they captured Tong Gui and others alive today.
For more than a month, Zhang Ji finally got a clue, how could he give up easily, seeing that Sun Haiying was still angry and scolding Li Mu, he went up directly with a hunting knife, and Sun Haiying was cold, and he lost his breath at that time.
Sun Haiying Huang was angry, and several subordinates who were originally with him did not move, although they didn't know why Li Mu lied, so they didn't dare to argue easily, for fear that they would say the wrong thing and follow in Sun Haiying's footsteps.
