Chapter 7: Arresting

"This, this, this." When the shopkeeper heard this, he was suddenly a little speechless, and stared at Chu Liuyan with open eyes and great surprise.

Chu Liuyan hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the shopkeeper and said: "Shopkeeper, don't be afraid, I came to Baodian today, just to arrest some spies from Hanyang, and I don't care about the rest of the matter, and the things in the shopkeeper's Gaosheng Inn will not be damaged in the slightest, please rest assured that the shopkeeper is." ”

When the shopkeeper heard Chu Liuyan's words, he felt a little relieved, and then asked Chu Liuyan: "This girl, no, Chu Junshi, I don't know who the spies from Hanyang that Chu Junshi said. ”

Chu Liuyan smiled and said: "Those spies are named to live in the inn of the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper originally didn't want to take them in, but later these people gave three taels of silver, and the shopkeeper reluctantly let them live in Hanyang merchants." ”

When the shopkeeper heard Chu Liuyan say this, he stomped his feet fiercely and said: "It's really these guys, I originally saw that these people were unknown, and I was a little suspicious, if it wasn't for the sake of the silver, I would have driven these people out a long time ago." I didn't expect that these merchants from Hanyang were really spies. In this world, it is really difficult to be a good person. ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, then I'm sorry, I'm going to go in first to catch the spy from Hanyang." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Master Chu, if my fists and feet break the things in my store without eyes, such as tables, chairs, benches, etc., who will I ask for compensation." ”

Chu Liuyan smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, don't be careful, anyway, we are all Wu Guogong's people, if your Gaosheng Inn is damaged at that time, I will also let Wu Guogong build you a better and bigger one, and I will still return it to you." ”

The shopkeeper smiled wryly and said: "Wu Guogong's credit is naturally excellent, and Xiao Lao'er is not a greedy person, as long as he can compensate for the broken things according to the new one, it's fine." ”

"Strategist, don't talk nonsense with this old man." Chang Yuchun's head was big when he heard this, and then he untied the money bag from his waist and threw it to the shopkeeper and said: "This is more than eighty taels of broken silver, you take it, if you break something, these will be considered compensation." ”

The shopkeeper took the money bag thrown by Chang Yuchun, put it in his hand and weighed it, and already knew that what Chang Yuchun said was true, so he nodded with a smile and said: "General Chang and the Chu military division are performing official business, and the little old man does not dare to obstruct it, so the general will ask for it." ”

Chu Liuyan heard that the shopkeeper was not in the way, and then waved his hand and rushed into the inn with a group of guards, the drinkers who were drinking didn't know what was going on, but they saw that it was Yingtian's people, so they couldn't help but care, and a few bold ones were still chasing after the guards, trying to find out what was going on.

Chu Liuyan rushed to the door where the merchants from Hanyang lived with a group of guards, and then dispatched five guards to go around the back of the house, tightly guarding the windows of entry and exit, and then ordered the rest of the soldiers to draw their knives and break into the door.

The big man from Hanyang inside was already drunk, and when he heard someone coming in, he thought it was the guy from the Gaosheng Inn who brought the decanting soup, so he burped and said: "Man, why did your decanting soup come so quickly, I haven't drunk enough wine, let me drink three more bowls of wine." ”

Before the words fell, the big man found that the three bright steel knives had reached his neck, and he was suddenly startled, and he broke out in a cold sweat, and the wine also woke up a little.

And his guards rushed in and tied up the rest of the Hanyang spies who were so drunk that they were unconscious.

Chu Liuyan and Chang Yuchun then walked in, Chu Liuyan looked around, and counted the number of Hanyang spies who were arrested by the guards, but there were quite a few, just thirteen people.

Chu Liuyan said to Chang Yuchun: "General Chang, the thirteen spies have all been caught, now that the sky is getting dark, please take these spies to a place to watch as soon as possible, but you must be secret, wait until tomorrow morning, I will personally escort these people to Yingtian Prison, don't be like the previous time, people with ulterior motives have detected this situation, and killed people." ”

Chang Yuchun heard this, and he already knew what Chu Liuyan said that last time General Xu Da also captured a group of spies planted in Yingtian City by Han King Chen Youliang in Yingtian's Dongxiangju, but unfortunately, he was killed by some gangsters with ulterior motives and killed several important people, which made the last incident a bit of a fly in the ointment.

With this realization, Chang Yuchun said with a straight face: "Chu Junshi, please rest assured, I will always keep these spies in prison." ”

However, Chang Yuchun is still a little strange, it stands to reason that although it is a little late now, it is still too late to send this group of spies sent by Han King Chen Youliang from Hanyang to Yingtian City to Yingtian Prison immediately, but why didn't Chu Liuyan do this, is it really afraid that it will be too late and easy to be ambushed halfway.

Although Chang Yuchun had some doubts in his mind, Chang Yuchun had always been obedient to Chu Liuyan, so he did not question Chu Liuyan's orders.

In fact, Chu Liuyan's approach does have an extremely secret purpose, but at this time, Chu Liuyan is not easy to tell Chang Yuchun. Chu Liuyan wanted to take advantage of tomorrow to escort thirteen spies sent by Hanyang, and secretly arranged for General Xu Da's henchmen and generals to enter Yingtian's prison together, and then launched a robbery in the prison and rescued General Xu Da.

However, this method was thought of by Chu Liuyan unintentionally, and in the past few days, Chu Liuyan has been thinking about how to smoothly bring people into Yingtian Prison, but he really doesn't have any clue.

Fang had just captured more than a dozen Han King Chen Youliang's spies sent to Yingtian City from Hanyang, and Chu Liuyan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and thought of a brilliant plan to rescue General Xu Da. For the time being, I will not send these Hanyang spies to Yingtian Prison, take this opportunity to go back to Xu Da's camp first, bring the eight generals who were summoned last time, and then find some loyal subordinates under Xu Da's account, and then pretend to be the Hanyang spies captured by Chu Liuyan today, escorted by Chu Liuyan, and enter Yingtian's prison together, so that some elite soldiers can be sent to Yingtian Prison without effort, and when the time comes, Xu Da can be rescued from the prison.

However, such a plan is still a bit risky in the eyes of Chu Liuyan, and Chu Liuyan is reluctant to talk about Chang Yuchun in front of him for a while.

After the guards pushed these Hanyang spies out of the door, Chu Liuyan and Xu Da also withdrew from the house.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw that the guy he knew today was already kneeling outside the room.

As soon as Chu Liuyan came out, he immediately saw the guy, and he was a little surprised in his heart, so he came over to help the man up and asked, "Xiao Er, what's wrong with you, kneel here for this." ”

When the guy saw that it was Chu Liuyan, he hurriedly took out a silver ingot from his waist, put it in his hand and said to Chu Liuyan: "Chu Junshi, I have already learned the news from the shopkeeper, I know that what I am serving today is actually Chu Junshi, how dare I ask for Chu Junshi's silver, the little ignorant and blind to Taishan, please Chu Junshi take back this ingot of silver, don't blame the villain." ”

Chu Liuyan smiled and asked, "Is this what you mean, or is it what you mean by the shopkeeper of the Gaosheng Inn?" ”

The guy hurriedly replied: "This is what the villain means, our shopkeeper doesn't know about this file at all, please check it out." The villain also felt guilty in his heart when he did this, after all, it was useless, how could he innocently take a silver ingot from the Chu military division. ”

As soon as Chu Liuyan heard this, he said to the guy: "Little second brother, you have already helped a lot today, but you don't know it." If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to easily catch the spy sent to Yingtian by Chen Youliang, the king of Han, today, speaking of which, you have made a great contribution in this matter, and if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to do it so quickly. ”

The guy asked with some confusion: "Master Chu, these villains you said can't understand, if the villain has merit, why don't the villains know themselves." ”

Chu Liuyan smiled and said: "It's normal that you don't know, I didn't tell you about this matter, if I told you just now, I want you to ask you to spy on whether the merchants in Chuzhou are drunk, it is estimated that you will be suspicious of what I have done, and let the official arrest me." ”

The guy thought for a while when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized: "It turns out that the Chu military division let the little one enter the house of the Hanyang merchant for this matter, and I have only now figured it out." ”

Chu Liuyan smiled slightly: "Now that you have figured it out, this ingot of silver still belongs to you, so it should be regarded as a reward for you to help me arrest these Hanyang spies, and if the shopkeeper doesn't know about this matter, you don't have to tell the shopkeeper, do you understand what I mean." ”

The guy was stunned for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood Chu Liuyan's intention, that is, let him not tell the shopkeeper, and he could spend this ingot of silver himself.

The guy kowtowed to Chu Liuyan happily and said, "Thank you for the reward from Master Chu, if there is such a thing in the future, please still bring me with Master Chu." ”

When Chang Yuchun heard this guy say this, he couldn't help but glance at Chu Liuyan and laughed.

Chu Liuyan and Chang Yuchun came out of the Gaosheng Inn, and with this Hanyang spy who did it, they still walked to the alley where the horses were tied and found the guard who guarded the horses.

Chang Yuchun ordered people to trap these Hanyang spies on horses, and then got on the horse with Chu Liuyan.

Chu Liuyan said: "General Chang is going to escort these people to a place for the time being. ”
