Although County Lieutenant Chen's words were correct, judging from the inspection results, all the mountain bandits who died here were still unable to figure out who did it.
Xu Jixiao listened to Lord Chen's words in a daze, but looked at County Lieutenant Chen, who was frowning and thinking, and asked, "My lord, then you said that this thing was not done by that chivalrous man, and what is the purpose of that chivalrous man sending us a message?"
"Well, there are a lot of strange things here, and after returning to the city, we will have to check in many ways to see if there is anyone else in these many corpses except the mountain bandits in Tianying Ridge. County Lieutenant Chen said with a deep groan.
"After making trouble for a long time, I still said that I don't know it, but in my opinion, it's the chivalrous man. Xu Jixiao muttered in an indiscreet voice.
......
The chivalrous warrior in Xu Jixiao's mouth, that is, His Royal Highness the Prince, was running non-stop in the mountains and forests at this time. Feeling that after a certain distance from the soldiers and horses of Tiangan County behind him, he gradually stopped.
It's not an easy task to run at all your might, and it's good to save some physical strength.
Yu sat down in the mountains and forests and began to breathe, and then looked at the small white ball in his hand, the small ball is not big, and it is not unusual to think that it can be held in his mouth, so it is not a big deal.
With just a little force, the ball was crushed, and a pile of white powder appeared on the palm of His Royal Highness the Prince's hand, and there was indeed a white paper ball among them.
Spread it out carefully in the palm of his hand, for fear that if he used too much force, the hard-earned thing would break, and he read it carefully in the moonlight.
"The cave master ordered me to integrate the soldiers and horses of the Da'an Gang and prepare to respond, and after reading it, Brother Tianying Ridge returned to Xizhui. "There are two lines on the small piece of paper, just two short sentences.
"Cave Master, Da'an Gang, Response, Xizhui. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince whispered the key words in these two sentences, and secretly thought in his heart that the cave master still wanted to rebel, but he knew that the shopkeeper and the mountain bandits in Tianying Ridge were all members of the Da'an Gang.
It's a pity that there is still too little information that can be obtained from these two sentences, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know what the cave master is, it can't be the owner of a random cave on the mountain, and he doesn't know what kind of Da'an Gang there is in Xitui, so these can only be explored in Xitui. What turned to me to be a little funny was that even the boss of Eagle Ridge must have died before he could see it when he received it.
As soon as he arrived, he encountered the attack of the murderous man, and he only had time to eat the ball in his mouth, and subconsciously didn't want the ball to be discovered by the murderous man, hoping that it would fall into the hands of others.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found this object from his mouth, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the man's wish before he died.
A little spark lit up in the corner of the note, and the spark gradually spread, burning it to ashes, reaching out and scattering it into the night sky, and the evening breeze blew to extinguish the last traces of its existence.
After reading it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that this Xizhui was becoming more and more difficult, and I didn't know what happened to Zhang Qianjian, the new official who took office.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know it yet, and the Zhang County Order he is worried about is the one who escaped with the mysterious woman.
Get up and look at the county seat in the distance, and continue to run towards it, intending to rest in the mountains and forests near the county seat, when the day is shining and the city gates are open, it is best to return before the caravan departs.
The time began to approach the early morning, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who was just resting with his eyes closed, heard the sound of a large number of soldiers and horses again, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was indeed the soldiers and horses of Gan County that day.
The defenders on the city wall, after recognizing the identity of the soldiers and horses, opened the gates and let them in. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince closed his eyes again, there was no way to go out of the city, so he didn't want to spend that effort to enter the city at this time, and waited for the city to open at dawn.
This night in Tiangan County is destined to be unpeaceful, and ordinary people are not calm, because of the sound of horseshoe armor and can't sleep. Our county magistrate is not calm either, and since County Lieutenant Chen and Xu Zhengguan left the city, they have been worried and can't sleep anymore.
At this time, the county magistrate who was wearing formal clothes and sitting at the table picked up and put down a cup of tea, and he didn't know that it was already cold.
"Master, Lord Chen and Lord Xu have returned to the city, and they are waiting outside the door to see you, Master, saying that they have something important to tell you. A man who looked like a housekeeper came from the front in a hurry, pushed the door in directly, bent down and said goodbye.
"Quickly lure the two of them to the study. The county magistrate slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, and said urgently, the tea in the teacup came out, splashing the table.
"Yes. The steward said yes and withdrew.
It wasn't until Taiwei Chen and Xu Jixiao entered the study again that the door was closed again, and more than half an hour passed, when the sky was dawning, and I don't know what the three of them were talking about in the study.
But when the three of them opened the door of the study at the same time and came out, the county magistrate changed from a sad face to a expressionless face, and County Lieutenant Chen was still preoccupied.
In the end, Xu Zhengguan looked at him, but he was overjoyed and excited, just like the expression he had when he followed the letter and ran down the city wall.
The county magistrate came to the main office, began to order everything to go down, ordered someone to post a notice, contacted the nearby township Zhengli Bao to go to Tianying Ridge to identify the body, and then personally wrote down the cause and effect of the incident, sealed it and stored it and passed it to the county.
In the early morning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince swaggered into the city, but last night's events were already full of turmoil, and a large number of people were gathering to talk about the sound of horses' hooves that made people panic last night.
Then the two officials began to put up three notices on the billboard, and a crowd of people flocked to it, followed by a burst of cheers from the crowd.
"Hey, what's the matter, brother, so happy?" asked someone who couldn't squeeze in, stood behind the crowd and grabbed the person in front.
"What's the matter? It's a great thing! The long-standing mountain bandits in Eagle Ridge have finally been exterminated. The man looked like crazy, slapped his thigh, and yelled at the top of his throat, not to mention how happy.
After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at it outside the crowd, he thought that the storm in the city was still caused by a letter from his own, so he smiled quietly and turned towards the inn.
Chen Zhenghao got up in the morning, knocked on the door three times and found no one in the house, thinking that the young man was drunk.
Pushing the door in, there was no ghost at a glance, and I was shocked, but I saw that the room was all right, and I was a little relieved. When he went out, he ordered his men to look around, but there was no one.
I thought that he might have left first, but I found that his yellow horse was still there, which was a little strange, thinking that the white boy was not the one who went out without saying hello.
At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Shi Shiran came in from outside the inn.
