Looking up at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who suddenly appeared in front of him, Uncle Hao was a little happy, it was a kind of joy that something was lost and regained.
Of course, this analogy is a little inappropriate, but Uncle Hao is in such a mood now: "I said Bai Gongzi, where have you gone, if you don't come back, we will go to the county government to report to the official." โ
Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince threw out his family heirloom sword that day and forced the murderous man to retreat, Uncle Hao no longer called him empty, but called Bai Gongzi instead.
"Uncle Hao doesn't have to worry, he just got up early in the morning and went out for a walk. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince replied with a smile, and then said: "I went out and found that it was not lively outside." โ
"Oh, what's the fun?"
"The government posted a notice, saying that all the mountain bandits in Eagle Ridge had been exterminated that day, and the people of Gan County were cheering on this day. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said as he walked towards his horse.
Hearing the news, Uncle Hao was silent, which reminded him of the situation that day again, and felt that this mountain bandit was by no means as simple as the government to exterminate it.
Due to some reasons, for fear of getting into trouble, Uncle Hao did not go to tell the government as soon as he entered the county seat, what happened to him on the road, at this time, he naturally chose to continue to be silent, turned his head to look at the subordinates around him who wanted to see the excitement, and shouted: "Quickly pack up your things and set off, what are you stunned?"
This person is naturally curious and loves to join in the fun, and at this time, he was yelled at like this, so he had to bury his head in his own business.
Moving quickly, the caravan soon left the inn and set off again.
Along the way, the people in the streets and alleys continued to talk, and suddenly a patrol team came from the front, and the person in front of the head held his head high, with a happy face, and strode in a majestic manner, and this person was known to His Royal Highness the Prince, and it was Xu Jixiao, the official of the City Gate Division.
Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know what his name is, but looking at this person's outfit at this time, it is not the dress that the official of the City Gate Division should have, and the saber on his waist is the Yanling knife of the eight-rank general. Well, it turned out that the bandits were promoted to the official after merit, so it's no wonder that he was so happy before.
In fact, the promotion is not so fast, and after reporting to the county, it has to pass the verification and assessment to be effective, and finally you have to wait for the official document of the ministry.
Xu Jixiao really couldn't wait, he went to find County Lieutenant Chen to have this knife to have a good time, and County Lieutenant Chen couldn't stand it, so he gave it to him, of course, the premise is to let him enjoy it today, and he has to return it when it's over.
At this time, Chen Zhenghao's caravan happened to meet Xu Jixiao's patrol head-on. The road was not wide enough, so everyone in the caravan turned sideways and let Xu Jiexiao and the others pass first.
This Lord Xu, who was wearing a Yanling knife, walked past everyone happily, but suddenly stopped after walking a distance.
Turning around, he walked towards Chen Zhenghao quickly, and the officers and soldiers behind him were also a little puzzled, not knowing which one Lord Xu, who was so happy today, was going to do.
"Alas, wait, wait!" Xu Jixiao shouted loudly, and stopped Chen Zhenghao, who was walking in the forefront.
"My lord, what do you command?" Uncle Hao turned his head to look at this adult who was originally laughing and laughing, but wanted to pretend to be majestic, and asked with a smile.
"Well, my lord, let me ask you if you are the caravan that entered the city yesterday after noon. Xu tried to organize his language and then spoke.
"Yes. I don't know why the adult in front of me asked this, but Uncle Hao still laughed with him, but he didn't want to cause any trouble before leaving.
"That's from Heavenly Eagle Ridge?" Lord Xu raised his voice a few points, and then asked.
Intuitively, Uncle Hao felt that there was something wrong, but he still replied, "This is ...... Yes. "There is no way to lie about this, it is impossible for such a large caravan and so many goods to cross the mountains and mountains, it can only pass through the Eagle Ridge.
"Well," Xu Jixiao nodded and said, "Did you find anything abnormal?"
"No, I don't. Chen Zhenghao subconsciously didn't want to trouble, and said directly without thinking about it.
But it was these three words that made Xu Jixiao's eyes sharpen, and the people who passed by from Tianying Ridge yesterday were not only the caravan in front of them, but also the rest of them passed by after noon, and after returning to the city, they had asked most of them, and they all said that they had seen the blood stains on the mountain road.
At this time, Xu Jixiao was about to go to the inn to find this caravan, and he was trembling before, and he walked past only to find that the caravan that entered the city yesterday was beside him.
Thinking that he was too lazy to leave, according to the time, the caravan set out at night, maybe knew more than those people, but he never expected such an answer.
After listening to these three words, Xu Jixiao snorted coldly and repeated: "No, yes." But he didn't ask him anymore, and strode towards the back of the group, and at this time no one could see that there seemed to be something strange.
"You said that you made an unusual discovery when you passed by Aquila Ridge yesterday. Xu Jixiao stared at an ordinary person escorting goods and said.
"Back to my lord, the grass people didn't find anything. This person has been following Chen Zhenghao for a long time, although he doesn't know why his master lied, but he will not be frightened by this to confide in the truth, and said calmly.
Xu Jixiao turned his head after hearing this, the Yanling knife that had just arrived at his waist came out of its sheath, flashing with a cold light, and looked at a guard and asked angrily: "Say, if there is an abnormal situation, tell the truth and let you go, if you dare to deceive, you can go to live in the prison in Tiangan County." โ
This sentence really scared this little guard a lot, he wasn't the person who had followed Chen Zhenghao for a long time, he was just hired, and the money didn't make a small matter, but he didn't want to be locked up.
Besides, this is not a big deal, and immediately shouted: "Adult! We found blood flowing on the Aquila Ridge mountain trail. โ
The guard was about to tell the murderous man he met later, but was interrupted by two simultaneous voices.
"You mean, what you see is blood that is flowing?" Xu Jixiao asked as he felt that he had grasped the point, his eyes lit up, because the news he had received from the others was all dried blood.
"My lord! Chen Zhenghao shouted loudly at the same time, afraid that the guard would say anything about the murderous man, he was just a businessman, and he didn't want to be contaminated with this, and it was the right way to leave the delivery as soon as possible.
"Hmph, now I know to tell the truth, it's late, the whole group of caravans have deceived and lied from top to bottom, deliberately not revealing the truth, my lord now suspects that you are related to the Tianying Ridge mountain bandits, and I will take them all away and hand them over to the county commander for interrogation. Xu Jixiao returned the knife into the sheath, and said angrily with a wave of his big hand.
