"Your people haven't come back yet? We can't go, we have to go back! Bao Qing said to Jin Wandao.

"It's coming, my lord!"

A man with ten thousand knives came running from a distance.

"Come on, are all the people on the old man's side gone? Is anyone watching? Jin Wandao hurriedly asked.

"My lord, they're all gone. Hong Ba returned to the camp, and Zhuang Lei also returned to the yamen. I guess they weren't suspicious! ”

"Then go back! This old man is blatantly lying to his face, and he doesn't know what his intentions are! Bao Qing immediately turned the horse's head, pulled the reins with one hand, and whipped the horse's ass with the other.

When Bao Qing rushed to the old man's house, the old man was sitting on the bench at home panting for breath.

"Why, I wasn't surprised to see this official suddenly turn back? Old man Zhang, what are you doing! Bao Qing's face was grim.

"Huh? My lord, is there anything else to ask the old man? Old man Zhang tried his best to suppress his panic, but he couldn't, his legs just trembled.

"The official doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you, and the official asks you, why are you lying to your face?" Bao Qing shouted.

"My lord, I don't!"

"Old man, you have to be wronged, my family says you lie, that's you lying! My family has never seen the wrong person say the wrong thing. Jin Wandao said intimidatingly.

"Okay, then the official will come to ask you. You said that you saw the murderer clearly last night because of the moonlight. But have you ever thought that yesterday there was no moonlight at all, and yesterday it was cloudy all night. ”

"Maybe I don't remember clearly." Uncle Zhang said.

"Okay, you can't remember clearly, the official came to ask you again, why are you nervous when you see the official? This official remembers that you have already arrived at the scene, and there were Zhuang Zhizhou and Mr. Hong at that time, if you are nervous. You've been there for so long before Ben came, and no matter how nervous you are, you should have calmed down. Also, the officer has carefully observed you, and when you are about to lie, your legs will subconsciously tremble, and your hands will seem to have nowhere to place. Is this official right? Bao Qing said coldly.

"My lord, if this old man doesn't tell the truth again, his subordinates will cut it with a knife, and just say that those murderers have turned back and killed one more person." Jin Wandao said.

Hearing this, Bao Qing nodded, and was about to step out of the door directly.

"Wait a minute, sir! I say! When the old man saw that Bao Qing was about to leave, he hurriedly knelt on his legs in fright, crying and pulling the hem of Bao Qing's robe.

"Crying out for what? Let's just say it! Bao Qing said impatiently.

"My lord, that's what those murderers made the old man say! They said that if the old man didn't do what he said, he would come back and take the old man's surname! The old man said.

"What? What did the killers tell you to say? Bao Qing was surprised, grandma's, what kind of perverted killer is this, this is a naked provocation.

As a murderer, under normal circumstances, he is afraid that his murder will be discovered, especially when he finds that someone has discovered his murder process, then as a murderer, the first thing that comes to mind is that it should be murder.

And these murderers are good, not only did they kill Zhang Laohan, but also taught Zhang Laohan to provide a false confession, aren't they afraid of being discovered by this official? Once discovered, it will be the end of these murderers. Is it necessary for this murderer to take this risk?

"Zhang Laohan, this official asks you again, have you ever seen the appearance of the murderer?" Bao Qing asked.

"See, see! Three soldiers, carrying three large knives behind their backs. As the adults said at the time, there was still a scroll on the knife. Your Excellency, you are truly divine, and these three men are almost exactly what you say. The old man said.

"What did the murderer say when he asked you to make these confessions? Or what other characteristics, you can tell me about it! ”

"There was a soldier who took the lead, scolding and scolding, and always said that the stupid man who is now an official will die. Oh yes, and said that he was going to run for another hour, and his shoes were dirty. Old man Zhang said.

Bao Qing felt that it was not normal, and regretted it in his heart, if he knew that he would meet this perverted murderer, he should have pondered the criminal psychology in his previous life. These murderers deliberately left so much information, isn't this just a naked provocation?

Yes, it must be deliberate. Do you want to follow this thread? I'm afraid it's a trap to follow.

Bao Qing thought for a while, suddenly bit his lip, and said, "Grandma, this is fucking forcing Lao Tzu to arrest them, is this an official who is afraid of any traps?" ”

"Jin Wandao, call someone back to call Zhanzhao and them, bring a dozen good hands, and follow me to arrest people." Bao Qing shouted.

"What? Adults, where to catch? We don't know where the murderer is hiding! Jin Wandao was a little puzzled.

"Where to go? Passing through the grove in the north of the city, within a dozen miles, I saw a broken temple, and it was estimated that it was that. "Although Bao Qing hasn't done anything in the ** building for the past three days, there is one thing he has been doing, and that is the terrain of this Bazhou.

In order to figure out Li Qing's location and General Cao's location, the terrain of this Bazhou must be mastered, so he was not idle. After all, this Li Qing's threat is the most direct, first assassinating himself, and he had a holiday with this Li family before. If you don't pull out this thorn, you won't be able to sleep soundly.

It didn't take long for Zhanzhao to bring all of them to the Zhanfei Dynasty Mahan, and they also brought more than a dozen good hands, all with short crossbows in their hands.

"My lord, what is the good thing today? Ha ha! Zhan Fei said with a smile, this kid likes to join in the fun.

"You kid!" Bao Qing pulled Zhanfei aside and asked, "The horses have been delivered, how are the ringing horses in Zhanjiazhuang trained?" ”

Zhan Fei replied softly: "Brother Bao, you asked Brother Zhan Qing to train these ringing horses into cavalry, do you want to rebel in the future?" ”

Bao Qing was startled when he heard this: "Be quiet, what kind of rebellion?" What nonsense are you talking about? I am taking precautions, I estimate, it won't be long before you Bao Brother, maybe you will be reduced to being a ringing horse, so now I am training the soldiers and horses well, and it will be easier to be a ringing horse in the future. ”

"What? Why do we want to be a ringing horse again? ”

"If Brother Bao loses his official position, he will definitely go to your Zhan family, and he will not be a ringing horse, and he will not do some other business."

"Brother Bao, isn't it! Even if we lose our officials, we don't need to make a living, we made so much money last time, and Brother Zhanqing is now doing Zhuangzi's business very well, and he has invited many shopkeepers. We've got money now! ”

Bao Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, how could he forget that he really gave this Zhanqing a lot of money at the beginning.

"There's a grove in front of you, adults!" Jin Wandao said.

"Look, the road in this forest is really difficult to walk, and the path is muddy! Especially if it's frost and fog at night! There is a bit of stagnant water, and when the weather is cold, the sun in this forest is difficult to get in the sun, and the ground is bound to be muddy. So, if those murderers enter the city from here, their shoes will be dirty! Bao Qing said.

"I see! My lord, five miles away, there should be a broken temple, and few people usually go there, and it is a place where passers-by often hide from the rain! ”

"Okay, let's go there!" Bao Qing had a feeling that those murderers seemed to be waiting to find them, but it was not like a trap.

Since he is a soldier, he must be following the orders of his superiors. So who are the officers of these soldiers? Hong Ba and Zhong Shan? It can't and there's no need! Wang Fakui? It's not like that person has always been in line until he sees the situation clearly. General Cao? It's not like ah, isn't he besieged now? The soldiers who broke through should have asked for help first.

Could it be Li Qing? It's even more unlikely, that Li Qing's subordinate Zhang Xu was killed by himself, and he sent someone to kill a few ordinary people to lure him to him? It doesn't make sense! I won't ambush a large number of soldiers in the temple, and I want to take advantage of the opportunity to kill myself.

There is a saying that curiosity kills cats, and Bao Qing doesn't want to be killed.

"Slowly approach, scout to check the surroundings to make sure there is no ambush on the perimeter, and then we rush in." Bao Qing said.

After about a cup of tea, the scouts who were released came back, and they all shook their heads and found nothing.

"No one is allowed to get off the horse, and the broken temple will be surrounded by the official, and then it will rush again!" Bao Qing commanded.

After all the postures were set, Bao Qing stood outside the temple under the escort of Jin Wandao and Zhanzhao.

"Listen to me, you are surrounded, come out and surrender! Listen to it, resist strict confession and leniency, and come out early to fight for leniency from the court. Bao Qing rode on his horse, put his hands on his mouth, and shouted at the top of his throat.

Zhan Zhao Jin Wandao They don't think it's strange, why? Because Master Bao's shouting skills are very powerful, the last time on the small slope of Niu Ben Road, he killed 1,000 enemies with this shout.

"Okay, let's get out! Don't let your crossbow arrows go. Suddenly, someone in the temple responded.

Bao Qing was extremely surprised, he shouted at the top of his voice, it was completely a stone throwing to ask for directions, where did he ever think that the murderer would be shouted out to disarm and surrender? This victory came inexplicably!

Not long after, four people came out of it. Hey? No, didn't you say three people?

I saw that the leader seemed to be an officer, followed by three soldiers!

"Throw all the weapons down, or the crossbow arrows will wait!" Zhan Zhao shouted.

"Good! Weapons all down! The officer at the head commanded, and the three soldiers behind did so, albeit with some reluctance.

Bao Qing carefully looked at the officer who was the leader, in his thirties, his face full of perseverance and vicissitudes. Bao Qing looked a little confused, this person looked like he was holding his head high like this, as if he was upright.

Bao Qing was about to speak, but the other party spoke first.

"Lord Qinchabao, it's really different from ordinary officials! Found here in no time! ”

"It's not because of you, why did you bring this official here? Now let's talk about it! Bao Qing asked coldly.

Suddenly, I saw the officer fall to the ground and bow, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Bao, under Li Qing, there is a great grievance to be reported!" ”

"What? Li Qing? ”
